Most founders don’t lose on LinkedIn because they’re bad writers.
They lose because LinkedIn quietly eats their time.
You open the app “for 10 minutes”.
You scroll.
You overthink.
You rewrite hooks.
You post late.
You reply randomly.
Boom.
1.5 hours gone.
Daily.
That’s the real tax.

The Real Problem (No One Admits This)
LinkedIn is not hard.
It’s unstructured.
Most people do this every week:
→ Think of ideas from scratch
→ Write posts manually
→ Guess what will work
→ Post inconsistently
→ Forget follow-ups
→ Miss DMs
→ Burn out
Effort everywhere.
System nowhere.
Clear communicators aren't lucky. They have a system.
Here's an uncomfortable truth: your readers give you about 26 seconds.
Smart Brevity is the methodology born in the Axios newsroom — rooted in deep respect for people's time and attention. It works just as well for internal comms, executive updates, and change management as it does for news.
We've bundled six free resources — checklists, workbooks, and more — so you can start applying it immediately.
The goal isn't shorter. It's clearer. And clearer gets results.
The Fix: Stop Creating. Start Operating.
Here’s the mindset shift that saves time:
LinkedIn is not a creative task.
It’s an operations task.
Once you treat it like ops, everything speeds up.
My 10-Hour Save Framework (Simple Version)
1️⃣ One Idea Bank. No Thinking Daily.
All ideas go into one place.
Not in your head.
Tools you can use:
→ Notion
→ Google Docs
→ Any notes app
Rule:
If an idea comes once, it never comes again.
You capture it. Done.
2️⃣ Batch Once. Never Daily.
Daily posting is a trap.
Instead:
→ 1 session
→ 60–90 minutes
→ Write 5–7 posts
That alone saves 5+ hours/week.
3️⃣ AI Writes the First Draft. Always.
You should never start from a blank page.
Use AI to:
→ Turn bullet points into posts
→ Rewrite hooks
→ Simplify language
→ Improve flow
Tools:
→ ChatGPT
→ Claude
→ Relay (if you want workflows)
You edit.
AI drafts.
4️⃣ Templates Beat Talent.
Every post follows a structure.
Examples:
→ Hook
→ Problem
→ Insight
→ Takeaway
→ CTA
Same skeleton.
Different idea.
This removes decision fatigue completely.
5️⃣ Schedule. Then Log Out.
Posting live is optional.
Consistency is not.
Use:
→ Taplio
→ Hootsuite
→ Buffer
→ Native LinkedIn scheduler
Schedule everything.
Close the app.
6️⃣ One Reply Window Per Day.
Constant replying kills focus.
Instead:
→ One fixed 20-minute window
→ Reply to comments
→ Reply to DMs
→ Done
No dopamine scrolling.
The Math (This Is Where It Gets Wild)
Before system:
→ 2 hours/day
→ 10+ hours/week
After system:
→ 20–30 min/day
→ 2–3 hours/week
Net save: 7–10 hours every single week.
That’s:
→ One workout
→ One deep work block
→ One extra client
→ Or just peace
The Bigger Truth
People think consistency comes from motivation.
Wrong.
Consistency comes from removing friction.
AI doesn’t make you lazy.
It makes you repeatable.
And repeatability wins on LinkedIn.
