Build a Trend-Driven Content Calendar in 30 Minutes

A simple weekly ritual to turn rising trends into a consistent Shorts pipeline—without feeling random.

4-Block Weekly Routine

• Mon: Research top 3 rising trends (10–15 minutes)
• Tue: Draft 6 hooks (2 per trend)
• Wed: Record 6 videos in 60 minutes
• Thu: Edit + captions + thumbnail frames
• Fri: Schedule + measure first-hour signals

Backlog Hygiene

• Tag ideas by topic and format (tutorial, storytime, reveal)
• Archive ideas that lose relevance after 14 days
• Promote winners; remix the angle next week
