[FAQ]

Hi,

I work a full-time job, so I really only have weekends to work on my TikToks. I keep hearing that ‘batching’ content is the key to staying consistent, and I’d love to be able to get a whole month’s worth of videos done in advance.

The problem is, when I try, I just feel really disorganized and end up wasting a ton of time. I’m looking for a real, practical workflow. How do you structure your Saturday and Sunday to do this efficiently? Do you write all the scripts first? How do you organize your outfits and props so you can just film everything smoothly?

I’d love to hear the actual systems and processes you use to make it work.

This is the production mindset that separates hobbyists from serious creators.

The Short Version: The key is to separate your workflow into distinct days for different tasks: one day for ideation and scripting, and one day for filming multiple videos in themed blocks. Editing should be treated as a separate process entirely.

You must stop thinking like a daily video creator and start thinking like a factory production manager.

An effective batching weekend starts before Saturday. During the week, your job is to passively collect ideas and trending sounds in a folder so you are not starting from scratch. Saturday is your pre-production day; this is when you finalise a list of 15-20 video ideas, write out the scripts or key bullet points for each, and organise all the props and outfits you will need. Your goal is to eliminate all decision-making for the next day. Sunday is your production day. The most critical efficiency hack here is to film in blocks based on location or outfit, not in the order you plan to post. Film all of your talking-head videos in one session, then change your outfit and film all the videos with that look in the next session. Finally, you should not try to edit during this weekend. Editing is a separate creative process that should be done during the evenings of the following week, where you can edit two or three videos each night.

Cheers,

Jeff
