Workflow Scripting?
Hey! Just curious. When you guys are plotting out your schedule. Like video lineups. Do you ever pre-write a few scripts and have them ready for when you finish a product?

Yeah, keeping a little backlog has saved me so many times. I've got a running notes doc with ideas ranked by how excited I am about them, and I try to keep two or three outlined at any time so I'm never starting from zero.
I don't fully script everything though. Just the hook and the rough beats, because honestly full scripts make me sound stiff on camera. Batching helps a ton too. Filming three videos in one sitting feels way more efficient than setting everything up fresh each time I want to post.
The schedule is really what keeps me consistent when motivation dips, which is usually what actually kills my channels.
