Content playbooks replace the treadmill with a system: pillars that have jobs, a month decided in one sitting, and posts that exist and are approved before their slot arrives. The unit is never an empty date. It is a finished post.
Mine one strong pillar piece for its atomic ideas, re-express each in every platform's native grammar, and learn which kinds of ideas travel.
Plainpaper is a shared canvas where an AI agent drafts a marketing campaign as cards on a board you review and approve. It works with Claude, ChatGPT or any other MCP client, and you can start for free, no credit card required.
