Batching content sounds dreamy when you hear other Batching content sounds dreamy when you hear other entrepreneurs talk about it.

"I created a month’s worth of posts in one afternoon!"
"Batching changed my life!"

But when you sit down to do it?

You’re staring at a blinking cursor.
Your to-do list feels louder than your ideas.
Your brain? Scattered across 42 tabs (literally and mentally).

Batching content doesn’t require superhuman focus or magical uninterrupted hours. It simply requires a shift:

From chasing perfection, to celebrating progress
From forcing long sessions, to embracing short, energized bursts
From "I should be able to do this easily," to "I can make this work for me"

Batching isn’t about rigid systems or robotic routines. It’s about meeting yourself where you’re at, honoring your energy, and building flexible workflows that reduce overwhelm - not add to it.

I’m breaking down how to batch content in ways that actually work for neurodiverse entrepreneurs, creative thinkers, and anyone who’s ever found traditional methods frustrating.

If focus feels fleeting, but consistency still matters to you - this one’s for you: MegBrunson.com/batch-content 

What’s the biggest challenge you face with batching content? 
Let’s problem-solve together.

Tired of marketing that keeps you busy - but doesn Tired of marketing that keeps you busy - but doesn’t move the needle?

There’s a path forward that’s ADHD-friendly, kind to your nervous system, and aligned with your goals (not hustle culture!).

Here’s your cheat sheet:

1. Reset Your Chemical Balance
Your brain deserves a refresh so focus can return… try movement, micro-breaks, and mindfulness.

2. Seek an Outside Perspective
Ask trusted folks what really matters.

3. Realign Tasks with Goals
Audit everything. If it’s not tied to a key goal? It’s gotta go.

4. Ruthlessly Prioritize + Say No
Protect your time like it’s your superpower. Because it IS.

5. Track Patterns Over Time
Notice what drains vs. what drives results. Repeat the good stuff.

This isn’t about being perfect.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters most, consistently.

Busy ≠ Productive (Yeah, I said it.) Let’s br Busy ≠ Productive
(Yeah, I said it.)

Let’s break this down:
— Posting daily just to post = Busy
— Perfecting every graphic pixel = Busy
— Checking notifications every 5 minutes = Busy

But…
— Building relationships with your audience = Productive
— Publishing strategic, goal-driven content = Productive
— Focusing on offers that drive revenue = Productive

See the difference?

The thing is, busy work masquerades as productivity.
 It keeps you moving... but rarely moving forward.

Especially for entrepreneurs (and double especially for those of us with ADHD brains), it’s easy to get stuck in the loop. 

Checking boxes feels satisfying in the moment, but if those tasks don’t ladder up to your bigger goals? It’s just noise.

You don’t have unlimited energy to spend on busy work.
And you shouldn’t have to.

Your time and energy deserve to be invested in tasks that actually move your business forward - and guess what? That version of marketing feels so much better.

I remember when I was first starting my business… 

A well-meaning colleague at Facebook told me I should avoid “girly” branding because it might turn away 50% of the population. So I played it safe: gray, blue, and red.

But here’s the thing…
100% of the population isn’t my target audience.

What if I do turn away 50%? 
Honestly… good. 💅

If me being me - pink hair, pink just-about-everything, tattoos, piercings, loud & proud values - makes someone not want to work with me?

That’s their loss, not mine.

I love the clients, collaborators, and community that being authentic attracts.
And I’ve never felt more aligned, more confident, or more fulfilled.

So, if you’re still reading this? 
You’re likely part of the reason why this journey feels so freaking good.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for letting me show up as me.

And if you needed a sign to stop filtering yourself for approval you don’t even want… this is it. 💖

If you’re spending your time jumping from post t If you’re spending your time jumping from post to post, responding to every notification, or tweaking that homepage headline for the 17th time... it’s time to pause. 

That’s marketing busy work whispering “you’re being productive,” when really, you’re just keeping busy.
For neurodiverse entrepreneurs especially, it’s easy to get caught in this trap. 

Dopamine loves the quick wins - but your big-picture goals? They need focused, strategic action.
Imagine instead:

— Working on tasks that light you up and move the needle.
— Creating spaciousness in your day without guilt.
— Saying goodbye to perfection paralysis and hello to progress.

This is what happens when you shift from “doing more” to “doing what matters most.”

Marketing busy work feels productive, but often ke Marketing busy work feels productive, but often keeps you stuck. 

You’re crossing tasks off your list, but are they driving your business forward or just filling time (and draining your energy)?

If you’ve ever found yourself lost in the cycle of doing “all the things” but seeing little real progress - you’re not alone.

Especially for entrepreneurs with ADHD - the dopamine hit from "quick wins" can make busy work incredibly tempting… but ultimately unsatisfying.

I just dropped a new blog post where I break down exactly how to escape the marketing busy work trap with 5 ADHD-friendly strategies. 

These are simple, actionable, and kind to your brain (because hustle culture can take a seat).

— Reset your focus
— Align your actions with your true goals
— Say NO (strategically!)
— And much more...

May has arrived, and it’s bringing all the vibes May has arrived, and it’s bringing all the vibes - longer days, blooming flowers, and a calendar full of moments that matter. From honoring legacies to celebrating new beginnings, this month is a reminder that growth and gratitude go hand in hand.

Here are some highlights from this beautiful month:

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (All May) - This month is all about celebrating the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of the AAPI community. From trailblazing leaders to everyday heroes, it’s a chance to amplify stories that deserve to be heard - not just in May but all year round.

Mother’s Day (May 11) - Let’s hear it for the moms, mother figures, and caretakers who make the world go ’round. Whether it’s a biological mom, chosen family, or a community of support, Mother’s Day is a time to honor the love and strength that shape us. (Pro tip: Be sensitive - this day can be complicated for some, so focus on inclusivity in your messaging.)

Memorial Day (May 27) - In the U.S., this day honors those who have lost their lives in military service. It’s a solemn occasion to reflect on sacrifice, honor legacies, and support those who serve and their families.

Now, let’s talk marketing…

May is bursting with opportunities to connect with your audience in meaningful ways.

Have you ever been searching for something and got Have you ever been searching for something and gotten totally distracted by the hilarious things predictive text suggests

Over the weekend, I was Googling something and saw this gem pop up...

Apparently, summoning a lemon is a common concern these days 😂

Speaking of predictive text... if you’re struggling to come up with FAQs for your content (like social posts, blogs, emails, etc.), predictive text is a goldmine.

Here’s the deal:

Google, YouTube, and Pinterest are all search engines that offer predictive text suggestions. Just start typing a question related to your topic or niche, and see what suggestions pop up. These suggestions are based on what real people are actually searching for. You can use them to create social posts, blog topics, lead magnets, or answer common client questions.

How to do it:
1. Go to Google, YouTube, or Pinterest.
2. Start typing “how do I [insert topic]” or “what do I do if [insert topic].”
3. Pay attention to the dropdown list of suggestions!
4. Pick the ones that make sense for your audience and create content answering them.

Pro Tip: Bonus points if you screenshot the funny ones to use as relatable content, just like I did!

Moral of the story: Whether you're summoning lemons or answering FAQs, predictive text can make your content planning a whole lot easier -and a whole lot more fun!

ID: Title: 'Predictive Text.' Subtitle: 'When research turns into distractions!" Screenshot of Google predictive text options after I typed in: 'what do I do if I accidentally..." suggestions include (in order) '...summoned a lemon, ...ate mold, ...open someone else's mail, ... missed jury duty, ...call 911, ...put the wrong shipping address, ...put diesel in my car, ...dropped my phone in water, ...eat mold.' Lemon sticker with a laughing so hard it's crying face.

So… you messed up. Now what? The truth is, most So… you messed up. Now what?

The truth is, most brands don’t fall apart because they made a mistake.

They fall apart because they ignored it, dismissed it, or tried to pretend it didn’t happen. 😬

But you? You’re different. 
You’re values-led. 
And when you mess up (because everyone does), you own it with grace.

Here’s how to recover ethically and effectively when your marketing misses the mark:

1. Acknowledge the mistake:
Don’t ghost your audience. Transparency matters.

2. Apologize and take responsibility:
Avoid the “if you were offended…” cop-out. Own the impact.

3. Modify or remove the content:
And if you update it, explain why. That’s what accountability looks like.

4. Learn and improve:
Bring in sensitivity readers. Update your process. Grow from it.

This is not about saving face… it’s about staying aligned with your values.

Because ethical marketing doesn’t mean you’re perfect. It means you’re willing to learn.
