Happy Sunday Creator!

I Hope you had a great week with a lot of progress!

Today, I will write about something that separates the good from the best - Consistency

Staying consistent isn’t easy.

As a creator, I can say it’s one of the hardest things to be good at.

Some days you wake up excited to create, and other days you’d rather do anything but show up.

But how do I stay consistent - every single week, every single post?

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain to share my approach.

By the end of this, you’ll have a simple system to keep you moving forward, even when motivation fades.

Grab a potato and enjoy!

Why consistency is so important

Consistency is the foundation of everything.

Especially as a Threads creator.

It’s how:

• Your audience learns to trust you.

• You improve your writing over time.

• Algorithms start to favor you.

Consistency adds up:

Let’s say you post 3 times per day, (which isn’t that much)

That’s 21 posts per week.

But let’s say you do 6 posts, only 2 days a week. (6 posts is pretty draining)

That’s only 12 posts compared to 21 posts.

Small streams make great rivers.

When I started posting on Threads, I didn’t see overnight results.

But by showing up daily for months, I built momentum and turned it into growth.

That momentum wouldn’t exist without consistency.

So, what’s the secret to sticking with it? Let me share my process 👇️ 

1. Systems > Motivation

Motivation is unreliable.

Some days you’ll feel it, and most days, you won’t.

That’s why I rely on systems.

Here’s what works for me:

• Goalsetting: I have a goal of posting 3 times per day, the posts doesn’t need to be perfect or perform. By having a goal for each day, makes it so much easier to achieve things.

• Batch Creation: Once a week, I sit down and create 5-7 posts in one session. This ensures I’m ahead of schedule and reduces stress.

• Scheduling: Ideally, I write all 3 posts in the morning and then schedule them out throughout the day.

• Repurposing: I Repurpose on a weekly basis, repurposing takes less time and effort then writing a complete new post. This makes it easier to produce content.

2. Accountability

When you’re the only one holding yourself accountable, it’s easy to let things slide.

That’s why I’ve built accountability into my process:

• Public Commitments: I tell my audience when to expect content. For example, this newsletter drops every Sunday without fail.

• Tracking Progress: I keep a simple checklist to track what I’ve completed each week. It’s satisfying to see those checkmarks add up.

This makes me more disiplined to produce content, since I’ve promised my followers.

3. Embrace Small Wins

Consistency doesn’t mean perfection.

Some days, I only manage a short post or a quick idea scribbled down - And that’s okay.

Here’s a rule I live by: Done is better than perfect.

Small wins add up over time.

Instead of aiming for massive results every day, focus on progress.

Write one paragraph. Post one thread. Engage with one person. It all counts.

Small streams make great rivers.

4. What to Do When You Hit a Wall

Let’s be real: Some days, you’ll hit a creative wall.

You either decide to drop your work and give up, or you can make the best out of the situation.

Here’s how I overcome it:

• Scroll for Inspiration: I browse Threads and other platforms, not to compare myself, but to get ideas. (I talk more about this in THIS newsletter!). It’s important that you refer this to “Death-scrolling”.

• Repurpose Content: On tough days, I revisit old posts and breathe new life into them. It’s a real lifesaver when I don’t have the energy to come up and write a new post from scratch.

• Take Breaks: Sometimes, the best thing you can do is step away. A quick walk or a change of scenery works wonders for me. I like to take a walk in the woods (A real privilege), when I come back home my mind feels reseted and ready to do some work again.

A Simple Framework You Can Steal

1. Plan: Map out your week in advance. How many posts per day? How many long-form? Do you write a newsletter? What type of content on specific days?

2. Create: Batch your content when you’re in the zone. Then you can schedule them out throughout the days. Schedule manually or use an app like Blacktwist.

3. Set daily goals: Set small daily goals.

4. Execute: Show up daily, even if it’s just for 10 minutes. Something small can lead to something bigger.

5. Reflect: At the end of the week, ask: What worked? What didn’t? Adjust accordingly.

6. Repeat.

Final Thoughts

Consistency isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, learning, and improving over time.

If you take one thing away from this newsletter, let it be this:

The results you want are waiting on the other side of consistent action.

Let me know how you stay consistent or what part of this resonated with you.

Until next time, stay consistent!
