How do you publish three blog posts a week when you barely have time to write one? You stop starting from a blank page. On this site, my AI assistant turns the things I've already built into draft posts every Wednesday, I review all of them in one sitting on Thursday, and the ones I approve go live on Monday, Wednesday and Friday the following week.
I set this up on October 15, 2026, so it's brand new. Here's exactly how it works, and how to make your own version.
The idea: your work is your content
Every time I build something (a Pinterest workflow, a grocery order my AI assistant builds every three weeks, a tracker that runs my day), I've already done the hard part: figuring it out. Writing it up is careful, slightly tedious work, and it's the part that used to make posts sit in my head for months.
So that's the part I hand off. The ideas, the systems and the decisions are mine. My AI assistant documents them, and I make the final call on every post. (Here's why most posts here are written by AI, and how you can always tell.)
The weekly rhythm
Wednesday: drafts get lined up. A scheduled task (a job my AI assistant runs on its own on a set day) does this:
- Counts how many posts are already approved for next week's Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
- If there are empty slots, picks topics from my finished projects in my tracker spreadsheet, the Command Center.
- Removes anything private (more on that below).
- Writes each draft, hidden from the site, with every step explained and real screenshots where it can take them.
- Adds one row to my tracker: "Thursday review", with a preview link for each draft.
Thursday: one review sitting. I open the previews and reply with something like "yes 1 and 3, hold 2." I can give notes too. This is my only part, and it happens once a week instead of in little interruptions all week.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: posts go live. Each approved post gets a publish date. On that morning, another scheduled task takes the post live, checks it loads, and logs it. Right after that, the same task makes the post's first three Pinterest pins and schedules them.
If a week is short on good drafts, fewer posts go out. Quality beats the number. Three is the goal, not a rule to rush.
The privacy rules (copy these)
Turning your real work into posts means your real life is in the source material. These rules are written down, and every draft follows them:
- Nothing personal, ever. Health, money, family, pets and home stay out, even anonymized.
- Other people stay anonymous unless they've said yes. A client becomes "a client's travel blog." My husband Jake said yes, so he can be named.
- No logins, account emails, invoice numbers or addresses.
- No made-up experiences. A draft can only say I did something if I actually did it.
Honest labels
Every post here carries a label under the title: written by me, written with AI assistance, or written by AI. These drafts are labeled "Written by AI," because they are, and they go live only after my yes. My own creative writing is mine, word for word.
Make your own version
You don't need my whole setup. Start small:
- Keep a "done" list. Every time you finish something (a new workflow, a template, a fix), add one line to a spreadsheet: what it is and what problem it solved.
- Write your privacy rules down before anything gets drafted. Use the list above as a starting point.
- Ask an AI assistant to draft from the list, one post per finished item, in your voice and with every step explained. Tell it to never invent anything that isn't in your notes.
- Pick one review day. Read all the drafts in one sitting, say yes, give notes or hold.
- Pick your publishing days and stick to them. Two a week is a great start.
If you use Claude, steps 3 and 4 can run on their own as a weekly scheduled task: click Scheduled in the left sidebar, then New task, then Set up manually, set Frequency to Weekly, pick the day, and paste your instructions.
What I'll be watching
This is week one, so I don't have results yet. The things I'll check: whether three good drafts a week is realistic from my real projects, whether one review sitting stays under half an hour, and which posts bring readers in from Pinterest, Google and AI tools (here's how I check whether ChatGPT and Copilot cite a blog). I'll add what I learn to the "What changed" notes at the bottom of this post.
