Aligning Content Marketing Strategies with Your Energy Levels

Ever feel like your energy is playing hide-and-seek just when you need it most? One moment, you’re buzzing with ideas for your next big marketing move, and the next, you’re staring at your to-do list like it’s written in a foreign language. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and you’re definitely not failing.

For entrepreneurs with ADHD (or anyone who feels like their energy has a mind of its own), traditional advice about managing time often misses the mark. It’s not just about how much time you have; it’s about how much energy you can bring to the table.

That’s why aligning your marketing strategies with your energy levels is a game-changer. When you work with your energy instead of against it, you unlock a sustainable way to show up consistently without burning out.

“Protecting your energy is critical. Find out when you’re most focused and alert, and reserve those peak hours for your most important work. And don’t push yourself beyond your limits – breaks are your friend.” – BetterCEO

In this blog, we’ll explore how to identify your energy rhythms, tailor your content marketing strategies to match, and embrace ADHD-friendly systems to make the most of your creative bursts. Because when you honor your energy, you don’t just get more done – you do it with more joy and authenticity. 

Let’s do this!


Understanding Your Energy Rhythms

A sun at the top and a crescent moon at the bottom, connected by curved arrows indicating a cycle. Text reads: “Your energy rhythms ebb and flow throughout the day” with “ebb and flow” in purple. Below is a question inside a speech bubble with a question mark icon: “When do those peaks and valleys happen for you?”

Your energy isn’t static – it ebbs and flows throughout the day, influenced by everything from your sleep patterns to how many tabs you’ve got open in your brain. For entrepreneurs with ADHD, this fluctuation can feel even more pronounced. Some moments, you’re laser-focused and ready to conquer the world; other times, even opening an email feels like climbing a mountain.

The key to making your energy work for you is recognizing when those peaks and valleys happen. Are you most focused in the quiet stillness of the morning? Or do you come alive in the evening when the world starts to slow down? Everyone’s rhythms are unique, and understanding yours is the first step to aligning your work with your natural strengths.

Take some time to observe your patterns over a week or two. Note when you feel most alert and productive versus when you’re dragging. This awareness allows you to schedule tasks that match the type of energy you have at any given time.

  • High-Energy Hours: These are your golden hours for tasks that require creativity, problem-solving, or deep focus – think brainstorming campaigns, writing blog posts, or filming videos.
  • Low-Energy Hours: Use these windows for simpler, repetitive tasks like organizing your inbox, scheduling social media, or updating your website.

And here’s the important part: honor the dips as much as the peaks. Rest isn’t a reward for hard work; it’s a necessary part of your productivity cycle. Pushing through energy slumps often leads to diminishing returns and, worse, burnout.

Breaks aren’t optional – they’re essential! They help you recharge so that when your energy surges again, you’re ready to ride the wave. Recognizing and respecting these rhythms isn’t just about getting more done; it’s about creating a sustainable way to thrive as both an entrepreneur and a human.


Aligning Marketing Tasks with Your Energy Levels

Headline: “Aligning Marketing Tasks with Your Energy Levels.” Two sections: “high energy tasks: 1) Content Creation (icon of a digital interface). 2) Video Work (icon of a video player). 3) Brainstorming (brain and colorful gears). “Low-Energy Tasks: 1) Admin Work (person at a laptop). 2) Social Media Scheduling (clipboard and hand). 3) Light Editing (computer setup).”

Now that you’ve mapped out your energy rhythms, it’s time to put that knowledge into action. Not all marketing tasks are created equal – some demand creativity and focus, while others are more routine. Matching tasks to your energy levels ensures you’re working smarter, not harder.

High-Energy TasksLow-Energy Tasks
During your peak energy hours, tackle the tasks that require the most creativity and mental effort. These are the moments when your brain is firing on all cylinders, so use them strategically. Examples include:

1. Content Creation: Writing blog posts, creating social media captions, or drafting email campaigns.

2. Video Work: Filming reels, webinars, or any other high-visibility projects.

3. Brainstorming: Planning new campaigns, outlining strategies, or developing fresh ideas.

These activities benefit from your ability to focus deeply and channel bursts of creative energy, so don’t waste these hours on busywork.
When your energy dips, it doesn’t mean you can’t be productive – it just means it’s time to shift gears. Low-energy tasks are often repetitive or require less decision-making, such as:

1. Admin Work: Responding to emails, organizing files, or updating spreadsheets.

2. Social Media Scheduling: Uploading posts to platforms and arranging your content calendar.

3. Light Editing: Polishing content you created during high-energy hours.

Lean into tools and systems that simplify these tasks. Scheduling apps like Buffer or Later can turn low-energy hours into a breeze.

The Art of Flexibility

Life happens, and even the best-laid plans can go sideways. Build flexibility into your schedule by creating “energy-friendly buckets” instead of rigid time slots. For example, have a list of high-energy and low-energy tasks ready to go so you can easily adjust based on how you feel.

Respect the Need to Recharge

Remember, energy alignment isn’t just about fitting tasks into your peaks and valleys – it’s also about respecting when you need to step back. Those breaks you take aren’t a loss of productivity; they’re an investment in your ability to stay consistent and creative over the long term.

By aligning your tasks with your energy levels, you’re not only getting more done, but you’re also creating a system that works with your ADHD brain instead of fighting against it. This approach keeps your marketing sustainable, impactful, and – most importantly – aligned with your well-being.


ADHD-Friendly Strategies for Energy-Driven Marketing

Headline: “ADHD-Friendly Strategies for Energy-Driven Marketing” on a purple background. Four strategies are listed on the left in rounded boxes: “1) Batching Tasks for Maximum Impact. 2) Leveraging Tools and Tech. 3) Build in Frequent Breaks. 4) Balance with Breaks.” On the right, a stylized tablet displays a yellow “WWW” folder, surrounded by icons like a lightbulb, pencil, megaphone, and gears.

Aligning your marketing with your energy levels is a great start, but as an entrepreneur with ADHD, you’ll need systems and strategies to make it sustainable. Let’s dive into a few practical, ADHD-friendly techniques that will help you harness your energy bursts while avoiding burnout.

1. Batching Tasks for Maximum Impact

Batching is your best friend when those high-energy waves hit. Instead of bouncing between different types of tasks, focus on one category at a time to maximize momentum. For example:

  • Write several blog posts or social media captions in one go.
  • Record multiple videos back-to-back when you’re feeling camera-ready.
  • Design graphics for a week (or month!) of posts while your creative juices are flowing.

This approach minimizes the time wasted on task-switching, letting you get more done during those powerful focus sessions.

2. Leveraging Tools and Tech

ADHD brains often thrive when the path is clear and distractions are minimized. That’s where the right tools come in. A few favorites to consider:

  • Content Planners: Tools like Trello or Notion can help you organize ideas and tasks visually, reducing overwhelm.
  • Scheduling Apps: Platforms like SocialBee allow you to pre-schedule posts during low-energy times.
  • Automation Tools: Set up automations for email responses, client follow-ups, or other routine workflows to free up mental energy for creative work.

By leaning on technology, you can offload some of the repetitive tasks and focus on what you do best.

3. Build in Frequent Breaks

ADHD brains need more frequent recharging than neurotypical ones – and that’s okay. Rather than forcing yourself to power through, embrace the power of intentional breaks. Try the Pomodoro Technique, where you work for 25 minutes and take a 5-minute break, or experiment with longer work/rest cycles if that suits you better.

Use your breaks wisely:

  • Take a short walk to clear your head.
  • Hydrate and grab a snack to refuel your body.
  • Practice deep breathing or mindfulness to reset your focus.

Remember not to push yourself beyond your limits. Your energy – and the quality of your work – will thank you.

4. Avoid Unhealthy “Deals” with Yourself

Entrepreneurs with ADHD often make bargains like, “I’ll eat after I finish this,” or, “One more task, then I’ll take a break.” These deals rarely end well and can leave you physically and emotionally drained.

Flip the script by prioritizing your basic needs first. A nourished, well-rested brain is far more productive and creative. Honor your needs, and the focus will follow.

By incorporating these ADHD-friendly strategies, you can channel your energy into meaningful marketing work while building in the flexibility and support you need. These systems are not about squeezing more productivity out of every moment – they’re about working sustainably and celebrating the unique strengths you bring to your business.


Managing Energy Over Time

Title: “Create Sustainable Systems for Managing Your Marketing Energy.” A 3D hand holds a gear with a lightning bolt symbol in the center. Surrounding text lists seven strategies, each with an icon: “Content Buckets, Rotating Priorities, Celebrate Small Wins, Set Boundaries, Schedule Downtime, Recognize Early Signs of Burnout.” Background is a gradient of pink, purple, and blue.

Aligning your daily tasks with your energy levels is a powerful start, but true sustainability comes from managing your energy over the long haul. As an entrepreneur with ADHD, it's essential to create systems that allow for flexibility, celebrate your wins, and prevent burnout.

1. Create Sustainable Systems

Rigid schedules and hyper-detailed plans can feel suffocating, especially when your energy doesn’t show up the way you expect it to. Instead, focus on creating flexible systems that align with your natural rhythms.

  • Content Buckets: Organize your marketing tasks into categories like “Create,” “Schedule,” and “Engage.” This lets you choose what feels most doable based on your energy level, without losing sight of your goals.
  • Rotating Priorities: Work on different aspects of your business on different days or weeks, giving yourself variety while staying consistent over time.

Systems like these provide structure without stifling your ADHD brain’s need for flexibility.

2. Celebrate Small Wins

Entrepreneurs with ADHD often focus on what hasn’t been done rather than what has. Shifting this mindset can help you maintain motivation and build confidence.

  • Share milestones with a biz bestie or your audience – like finishing a blog post series or reaching a social media goal.
  • Reflect on your progress regularly, whether that’s reviewing completed tasks or journaling about recent achievements.

Celebrating these wins not only keeps you motivated but also lets your enthusiasm shine through in your marketing. Authentic excitement is contagious, and your audience will feel it too.

3. Prevent Burnout Before It Starts

ADHD can make it easy to overcommit when you’re in a high-energy phase, only to crash later when reality catches up. To stay balanced:

  • Set Boundaries: Limit the number of projects or tasks you take on at one time.
  • Schedule Downtime: Block off time for rest and personal activities, just as you would for work.
  • Recognize Early Signs: Pay attention to when tasks feel harder or you’re more irritable – these could be signs that you need a break.

By protecting your energy, you’re not just avoiding burnout; you’re creating a sustainable way to show up for your business and your audience.

When you manage your energy over time, you’re giving yourself the space to thrive as a creative, ethical entrepreneur. Consistency isn’t about doing everything all the time – it’s about finding a rhythm that works for you and sticking with it in a way that feels good.

This approach ensures that your marketing remains impactful and authentic, powered by the unique energy and enthusiasm only you can bring.


Next Steps

Text: “Are you ready to create a content marketing strategy that works with your energy instead of against it?” Phrases are styled in bold or colored blocks for emphasis. Above the text is a 3D icon of a presentation board displaying a heart-shaped pie chart and colorful data bars. The background has a soft gradient of pink, purple, and blue. The Just Marketing® logo appears at the bottom.

When you align your content marketing strategies with your energy levels, you’re not just optimizing productivity – you’re creating a sustainable, authentic approach to showing up for your audience. For entrepreneurs with ADHD, this alignment is even more critical. Your energy is finite, but it’s also one of your greatest strengths when harnessed wisely.

By understanding your energy rhythms and tailoring tasks to match, you’re working with your brain rather than against it. High-energy moments become opportunities to shine creatively, while low-energy periods are perfect for steady, behind-the-scenes work. Layer in ADHD-friendly strategies like batching, leveraging tools, and taking intentional breaks, and you’ve got a system that supports both your well-being and your business growth.

But it doesn’t stop there. Managing your energy over time through flexible systems, celebrating wins, and prioritizing rest ensures you can sustain this momentum for the long haul. Consistency isn’t about pushing yourself to the brink – it’s about finding a rhythm that allows you to thrive.

Protecting your energy isn’t just smart – it’s essential. Your marketing doesn’t need to be a source of stress or burnout. Instead, it can become a joyful expression of your vision, powered by your unique strengths.

So, take a moment to honor where you are today. Reflect on your energy, create systems that support you, and show up authentically for your audience. When you align your marketing with your energy, you’re not just building a business – you’re building a sustainable, values-driven brand that inspires others and reflects the best of who you are.

Pride month is all about celebrating authenticity, Pride month is all about celebrating authenticity, honoring identity, and continuing the fight for justice — in whatever way feels right for you.

Whether you’re out and loud, quietly reflective, or somewhere in between, your presence matters.

I’ve found myself in the comments on some local Pride posts this week… and whew... alongside the joy and support, there’s still so much ignorance and hate.

So, if you need this reminder too:

— You’re allowed to protect your peace.
— You don’t have to engage with every hater or hot take.
— You get to show up in ways that honor your energy and boundaries.

And (for my fellow Handmaid's Tale fans): "Nolite te bastardes carborundorum!"

This Pride Month (and always), hold your head high, set the boundaries you need, and know that your existence is already a form of resistance.

You’re doing enough.
You are enough. 💕

June is here, and it’s bringing sunshine, celebr June is here, and it’s bringing sunshine, celebration, and a whole lot of love. 

From honoring history to celebrating identity, this month is all about lifting each other up and leaning into the joy that comes with being unapologetically yourself. 

Whether you’re waving a rainbow flag or reflecting on the power of connection, June reminds us to celebrate humanity in all its forms.

Here’s a glimpse of the celebrations and observances that make June shine:

Pride Month (All June) - Pride Month is a time to honor the LGBTQIA+ community, celebrate progress, and recommit to the work that’s still needed for equality. It’s about joy, resilience, and making space for everyone to be their authentic selves. (Pro tip: Support LGBTQIA+ creators and businesses this month - and every month!)

World Environment Day (June 5) - This day is all about taking action to protect the planet we call home. Whether it’s reducing waste, planting trees, or educating others about sustainability, every small step adds up. 

Father’s Day (June 15) - From teaching life lessons to the perfect dad jokes, Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the people who’ve shaped us with love, guidance, and maybe a little grilling expertise. (Pro tip: Be sensitive - this day can be complicated for some, so focus on inclusivity in your messaging.)

Juneteenth (June 19) - Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States. It’s a day to honor the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, reflect on history, and commit to creating a more just future.

June offers endless opportunities to create content that matters. It’s a time to amplify voices, build connections, and create impact.

You’ve got numbers. Cool. But what do they mean? You’ve got numbers. Cool.
But what do they mean? 
And how do you use them without spiraling into overthinking or analysis paralysis?

Here’s your ADHD- and entrepreneur-friendly roadmap:

Step 1: Analyze without obsessing
Ask simple questions:
 - What’s working?
 - What’s not?
 - What’s worth tweaking?
(Not everything requires a deep dive - look for patterns, not perfection.)

Step 2: Experiment and adjust
- A/B test little things (subject lines, CTAs, posting times)
- Make small, iterative changes
- Avoid "burn it all down" energy… steady wins here

Step 3: Celebrate progress, even the tiny wins
- 5 more clicks than last month? That counts.
- Someone replied to your email? That matters.
- Learned what doesn’t work? That’s insight.

Your marketing journey is NOT a pass/fail test.
It’s a cycle of learning, adjusting, and growing.

When in doubt, zoom out.
Look at trends over time.
Progress always tells a bigger story than one random metric.

You don’t need to monitor all the numbers. You n You don’t need to monitor all the numbers. You need the right numbers - the ones that show whether your marketing efforts are actually working.

Here’s your permission slip to simplify:

1. Social Media:
Focus on engagement rates (likes, comments, shares, saves) and forget follower counts - they don’t tell the full story

2. Email Marketing:
Watch open rates + click-through rates. This shows who’s really connecting with your emails

3. Website:
Check traffic sources + conversion rates… Where are people coming from, and what actions are they taking?

Remember: Simple > Complicated

 “Grow your followers.”
 “Get more likes.”
 “Chase that viral moment.”

But here’s the truth: Vanity metrics won’t build the kind of brand that changes lives.

What will?
— Prioritizing accessibility so everyone feels welcome
— Centering inclusivity so diverse voices are heard
— Building genuine relationships that stand the test of time

— You create ripple effects far beyond the algorithm

What’s ONE value you want your marketing to reflect this year? Let’s name it + claim it.

ID: A pink and purple gradient background featuring a dartboard with arrows, a purple briefcase, stacks of coins, and growth icons. Text reads: ‘Shift your focus from vanity metrics to values-driven goals. It's not just good for your brand - it's good for the world.’ The Just Marketing logo appears at the bottom.

How do your values show up in your business? Anyo How do your values show up in your business?

Anyone can slap their values on an "About" page and call it a day.

But if your business is truly values-led, those beliefs show up in your: 

— Client onboarding process
— Pricing and payment options
— Marketing language
— Team communication
— Accessibility choices
— Boundaries and business hours
— Collaborations and brand partnerships

The question isn’t just what you believe…
It’s how you bring those beliefs to life in your everyday biz decisions.

I’d love to know: What are your core values, and where do they show up the strongest in your business?

(Mine sometimes show up on my t-shirts! 😉)

ID: I am smiling with my long pink hair pulled to one side, wearing pink glittery glasses and a bright pink T-shirt that repeatedly says "Abortion is Healthcare " in white text. I'm standing in front of a wall made of glass blocks.
