Something I started tracking in my content
workflow that surprised me
more than I expected.
I spent an entire content session
this week logging every task I did,
not just what I created, but what
I had to build before I could create.
Here's what I found:
✦ Task 1: rewrote my caption structure
from scratch (again)
✦ Task 2: reinvented my hook formula
from a blank page (again)
✦ Task 3: rebuilt my design layout
from zero (again)
All 3 were tasks I've done
at least 10 times before.
That's the rebuild tax.
Not a creativity issue.
A systems issue.
Effort matters, but systems multiply it.
And I was paying this tax every session
without realizing it was optional.
The Energy Audit I use now:
✦ Step 1: List every task from last session
✦ Step 2: Circle the repeated ones
✦ Step 3: Turn each into a saved template
Save this for your next session.
