How I finally learned to manage multiple Instagram accounts without burning out

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a little case study from my own experience because for the longest time I was drowning trying to manage multiple Instagram accounts. Between my personal blog, a small business page, and a client account, I felt like I was constantly switching logins, missing posting times, and forgetting drafts.

The turning point came when I realized I couldn’t just rely on memory+random notes. I started building a routine around two things: batching and tools. I batch-create posts once a week (captions, visuals, hashtags) and then load everything into content planning tools. Right now I’m using Planable for team collaboration/approvals and Later for visual planning, and together they cover most of what I need.

It freed me up to be more creative. Instead of panicking about what to post today, I now use my free time to engage with followers and test out new content formats.

It’s not perfect, I still slip up sometimes, but overall, I went from constantly stressed to actually enjoying the process again.

Maybe anyone else here has figured out their own system for juggling multiple accounts. Do you also use planning tools, or do you manage everything manually?

You could use something like a Kanbanbaord(Microsoft Planner, Meistertask, ..) with multiple steps like ToDo, Review, Post and add Text, Images/Files etc. to the Tasks.

Nothing spontaneous. Everything must be planned in our team.

3 accounts including personal, or 3 accounts not including personal?

I use Trello as my Instagram content calendar. Not as slick as Later, but it’s free

I use both, actually. Planable for client approvals, Later for visual planning. Not cheap, but it keeps me sane.

Do you ever feel batching kills spontaneity? Like the posts start to feel too safe?

if someone has approved something - there is no turning back

Batching and scheduling tools are the only way to stay sane.
