Columns to keep
Date, timezone, network, account, topic, goal, format, owner, reviewer, review deadline, status, media link, published link and outcome metric. Keep fields needed for decisions; avoid columns nobody maintains.
The provided file contains a fictional notebook-launch example. Replace dates and role names before use. Each row represents one destination and content version.
Build a realistic week
Start with available resources: writing time, ready assets and review capacity. Then choose topics. Two reviewed posts are more useful than a calendar full of content you cannot produce.
Example: Monday, explain the product; Wednesday, show a production detail; Friday, answer a question. Prepare the three briefs together while adapting assets and openings to each network.
Handle changes and delays
Include a “changes requested” status and a review deadline. If approval is missing, move the slot instead of assuming reviewer agreement.
After an edit, check that the scheduled version contains the new copy. An “approved” spreadsheet cell does not automatically update an already scheduled post.
Move from a template to team work
Use the CSV to define your method. In NudgeTask, projects hold context, tasks track production and planning organizes content. Publish then handles scheduling.
To assess cadence, compare planned, approved and published content across four weeks. Record blockers and outcomes per network. A recommended posting time is a hypothesis to test with your audience.
