Content Creation Strategies for Burnt Out Entrepreneurs

I haven't typed a full paragraph in months. Most founders are still grinding out content the hard way. Meanwhile, I'm creating more efficiently using voice and AI systems. Content creation shouldn't come with burnout. Here's how I create 30 pieces instead: 1. Voice-First Creation I speak my ideas instead of typing them. Voice is faster than fingers and captures natural conversational flow. AI transcription tools turn my thoughts into polished content instantly. 2. The 3-Tool Content Engine Tool 1: Voice recorder for raw idea capture during walks or commutes. Tool 2: AI transcription that turns speech into structured drafts. Tool 3: Content optimization AI that adapts one idea across multiple platforms. 3. The Secret Content Checklist Before any content goes live, it passes through 5 systematic checks. Hook strength, value delivery, platform optimization, engagement triggers, and call-to-action clarity. Quality control happens through systems, not hope. 4. Content Multiplication System One 10-minute voice recording becomes 30+ pieces of content. LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, YouTube scripts, newsletter sections. Each optimized for its platform while maintaining core message integrity. 5. Batch Production Days I record all content in focused 2-hour sessions. Then AI handles the heavy lifting of adaptation and optimization. Creation becomes systematic instead of reactive. The result: Content creation that scales without burning out the creator. Most founders create content. I systematize content production. Your voice is your competitive advantage. AI can optimize and multiply, but it can't replace your unique perspective and experience. Stop typing yourself into burnout. Start speaking your content into existence. __ Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Matt Gray for more.

From managing a full-time job with content creation to now running my latest venture, Like Mind Tribe, I used to grind for hours, believing that the more I worked, the more I’d achieve. But I’ll be honest – working smart >>>>> working hard For the longest time, I was overwhelmed with tasks that weren’t moving the needle. I’d set massive goals and then get stuck in the details. Cut to now, I blindly follow the 80/20 rule, and my work management has never been this seamless. It’s simple: Focus on the 20% of tasks that will give you 80% of the results. This mindset shift changed everything for me: —> I started setting clear, realistic goals every day that aligned with my long-term vision. I spent most of my time on research, ideation, scripting, and storyline, which is only 20% of my content creation process. But getting this step right sets the right direction and pace for the remaining 80% that I delegate. —> I stopped chasing everything and started chasing the RIGHT things. I delegated time-consuming tasks like video editing, profile management, content scheduling to experts on my team, which saves my time and effort. —> I blocked out specific times for work and rest. Boundaries are non-negotiable for recharging and resetting my energy. No more burnout. No more feeling like I was constantly ON. The key is intention – Don’t just do more. Do what truly moves you forward. What’s one thing you would cut out today to work smarter, rather than harder? #drishtiispeaks #productivity #management #contentcreation

“I experience mind blank when trying to create content.” — Business coach with 15 years experience This isn’t writer’s block. This is expertise overwhelm. You have so much knowledge that choosing what to share feels impossible. Here’s what I tell every coach: Your biggest content mistake isn’t what you’re saying. It’s thinking you need to say everything at once. One framework. One insight. One transformation story. That’s a post. That’s value. That’s client attraction. Last week, I watched a brilliant executive coach stare at a blank LinkedIn post for 47 minutes. She had: → 200+ client transformations → 12 proven frameworks → 15 years of insights But she was paralyzed by choice. The solution? I gave her the Content Extraction Method. Instead of creating from scratch, she started mining her existing expertise. Result: 30 days of content in 2 hours. Your experience IS your content strategy. Quick Content Creation System: Mind Dump Method • Set timer for 10 minutes • Write every client problem you’ve solved • Each problem = 1 content idea Framework Documentation • Pick ONE methodology you use • Break it into 3-5 steps • Share step 1 today Client Win Formula • Challenge + Your approach + Specific result • “Sarah couldn’t delegate → Trust Equation → Team productivity up 40%” Content Recycling • Monday: Share framework • Wednesday: Client success story • Friday: Lesson learned Batch Creation • Sunday: Plan 5 posts • Use voice notes while walking • Turn insights into content immediately Remember: Your audience needs ONE valuable insight, not your entire methodology.

I've watched so many creators I work with hit that wall where they're frantically creating content at midnight, wondering how the heck other creators seem to post consistently without losing their minds 😅 They come to me drowning in half-finished drafts, forgotten ideas, and the constant nagging feeling that they're always behind The game changer for them? Shifting from "reactive creating" to "systems thinking" Here's what I work on with creators to transform the content creation process: • They stop treating each piece of content as a separate mountain to climb and start building an assembly line • They batch similar tasks together (research days, filming days, editing days) instead of context-switching hourly) • They create standardized templates for everything from email responses to social posts • They identify and eliminate bottlenecks (for most, it's endless editing loops) • They build a "content insurance bank" when they're feeling productive by keeping 2-3 emergency pieces ready to publish at all times When creators build systems, they're not just making tomorrow easier, they're creating the foundation to scale. Because let's be honest, there's a ceiling to how much content one person can create through pure hustle! The hardest mindset shift for them? Accepting that spending a day building a system instead of creating content isn't being "unproductive"... it's investing in their future output!

Content burnout doesn’t come from writing too much. It comes from wasting time writing things that don’t land. I used to overthink every LinkedIn post. Now, I follow one simple process that keeps me consistent and connected to my audience 👇 → I start in Slack, checking what questions clients keep asking. If it’s coming up in consulting calls, it’s content gold… because it’s rooted in real pain. → I jot down a list of the most common problems we’re solving that week. These become the backbone of my posts… not random thoughts, but problems my ICP actually wants solved. → I drop that list into ChatGPT to organize topics and surface patterns. It helps me group similar problems and spot recurring themes across clients. → Then I open magicpost.in to turn those ideas into structured LinkedIn drafts in my tone of voice. It gives me the bones, headline, flow, examples, without losing authenticity. → Next, I edit for clarity and insight density. Every line should either teach, provoke, or connect. If it doesn’t, it goes. → Before scheduling, I ask one question: “Would my audience save this post?” If the answer’s no, I rewrite until it is. → Finally, I track performance weekly to find what formats and angles resonate most. That feedback loop keeps my writing evolving… not repetitive. That’s how I stay consistent without burning out. Not through inspiration. Through process.

I’d wake up early to send client emails, squeeze in content creation during lunch breaks, and stay up late working on marketing. It was exhausting.

I had to find a way to free up time without sacrificing quality or client experience. That’s when I discovered the power of automation. Here’s how I started reclaiming my time while keeping my business running smoothly: 💡 1. 𝑨𝒖𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 & 𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 Before automation, I was manually posting on LinkedIn every day—stressing about what to say and when to post. Now?

𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒆𝒅𝑰𝒏 𝑴𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 Instead of constantly chasing leads and remembering to follow up, I take advantage of LinkedIn’s new message scheduling feature to stay consistent in my outreach. For a more advanced approach, I’ve also used Walaxy, an amazing tool that automates connection requests and follow-ups—helping me nurture leads without being glued to my screen. 💡 3. 𝑵𝒐 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌-𝒂𝒏𝒅-𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 Before, booking a call with a client meant multiple DMs and emails.

More time for actual business growth, better work-life balance, and zero burnout. #worklifebalance #mycoachviviana #businessmentor

If content creation has you feeling burnt out, inconsistent, or constantly behind… You don’t need more motivation. You need a better mindset. This is the shift that changed everything for me and it’s how I finally stopped spinning my wheels and started building a content system that actually works. Here are 5 mindset shifts that helped me go from overwhelmed and scattered to clear, consistent, and strategic with my content. Let’s break them down: 1) Stop posting just to post. Every post should serve a purpose. Either it’s building trust, warming up leads, or teasing something to come. Random content = random results. 2) Don’t think in posts. Think in campaigns. One post can go viral. But a cohesive campaign builds a brand. Your content should feel connected, like it’s all telling a bigger story. 3) Start with stories, not slogans. Start with stories, not slogans. People connect with emotion, not instruction. So look for AI tools, like Vocable.ai, that are trained to think like a storyteller and can apply hook frameworks to make your content more engaging. 4) Think in batches, not bursts. Burnout happens when you try to do everything at once. Batch your ideas, your writing, your filming separately. Trust me on this. 5)You don’t need more content ideas. You need more ways to say the same thing Across formats, channels, and styles. That’s how you maximize effort instead of multiplying it.

How I avoid writer's block when making content. (Without having to do a crazy morning ritual) I get it. As a founder, your to-do list is very long. Making content can feel like another big job. But it doesn't have to be a burden Here are 3 steps to help you out: 1. Write out what you learned that week Take 15-20 minutes a week to think of ideas. Blockout time to recap the week and brainstorm ideas. No distractions, just you and your thoughts. The best sessions often lead to the best content. 2. Outsource the things you don't need to do Delegate. Delegate. Delegate. You don't want to become the bottleneck for content. If someone can write better than you, let them If someone can edit better than you, let them As a founder, your time is crucial to the business. Make sure you're spending it wisely in this regard. 3. Focus on what works from sales conversations Some of your best content is already out there. An objection can be turned into a text post. A case study can be turned into a carousel. A good point you made can be turned into a video. (Like this one) The content is already there. You just need to change how it looks. Have a team help with fixing or planning your content. If you are doing everything, that is a recipe for trouble. These steps are here to help you move the needle. But the key is finding a content creation plan that works for YOUR schedule. With some planning and the right approach, I believe content can become one of your best ways to grow without the stress that usually comes with it. P.S. Did these steps help with your writer's block?
