Is anyone else's "content system" just 5 different apps and a pile of sticky notes? Feeling overwhelmed.
Hey everyone,
I'm relatively new to taking content creation seriously and I'm honestly drowning. Not in a lack of ideas—it's the opposite.
My current "workflow" is a complete mess:
- Video ideas are in a Google Keep note / Notepad.
- Half-baked scripts are in random Google Docs.
- Keyword research and title ideas are in a spreadsheet.
- Links to research articles are just a bunch of open tabs I'm afraid to close.
- Inspiration I see on the go is in my phone's voice memos.
It feels like I spend more time trying to find my ideas than actually developing them. When I finally sit down to film, I can't find that one brilliant point I thought of last week. It's getting so frustrating and I feel like I'm wasting so much creative energy just on bad organization.
How do you all manage this? I've looked at Trello and Notion, but they feel so generic, like I have to build an entire operating system for myself before I can even start working.
What's the most broken part of your idea management process? What's your dream solution for turning that initial spark of an idea into a fully planned video without losing your mind?
