The Problem: Why Overthinking Holding you Back

We’ve all been there: spending hours researching the best time to post, the most engaging formats, or crafting the perfect caption—only to end up not posting at all.

Why does this happen?

  1. Fear of Imperfection: You don’t want to fail, so you never try.

  2. Over-Planning: Endless preparation feels productive but leads nowhere.

  3. Paralysis by Analysis: Too much data, not enough action.

LinkedIn success isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency. And the only way to get consistent is by doing.

 Solution: The 7 Day Action Plan

This action plan is simple, practical, and designed to help you start posting without overthinking.

Step 1: Define One Problem to Solve

Choose a single, clear problem to address for your audience. Example: “How to be financially free as a digital nomad.”

Step 2: Create 7 Solutions

Break the problem into seven actionable solutions, each forming the basis for a post. For example:

  • How to invest as a digital nomad.

  • How to pay less tax as a digital nomad.

  • Top 7 locations for digital nomads.

Step 3: Design 7 Visuals

Pair each solution with a visual element. Use tools like Canva or Pinterest to create infographics, carousels, or inspirational quotes.

Step 4: Write 7 Captions

Craft engaging captions for each post using tools like EasyGen. Keep them simple and relatable. Highlight benefits or use a question to grab attention.

Step 5: Time-Block Your Posting Routine

Dedicate one hour per day to:

  • 30 minutes engaging with others.

  • 15 minutes prepping your post.

  • 15 minutes for DMs and connections.

Step 6: Commit for 7 Days

Post every day for a week. Stick to your plan and resist the urge to analyze during this period.

Step 7: Reflect and Adjust

After 7 days, review your performance. Which posts resonated most? Use this insight to refine your approach for the next 7 days.

Key Tactics: Time Blocking and

Forget to-do lists; they’re endless and overwhelming. Instead, use time-blocking—scheduling tasks on your calendar like meetings. It’s intentional, structured, and forces prioritization.

How to Time-Block Effectively:

  1. Identify Key Tasks: Choose the top 3-5 tasks that align with your goals.

  2. Schedule Time: Block time on your calendar for each task.

  3. Add Buffers: Allow 15-30 minutes between tasks for unexpected interruptions.

  4. Batch Similar Tasks: Group tasks like commenting or messaging to maintain focus.

  5. Stick to the Plan: Treat your schedule as non-negotiable.

Learnings From Failure

Analyzing is essential—but only after you’ve taken action. Here’s why:

  1. Action Creates Data: Without posts, you have nothing to analyze.

  2. Imperfect Action is Better Than None: Each post, no matter how flawed, is a step forward.

  3. Learning Through Doing: You’ll improve faster by creating consistently than by planning endlessly.

Action Tips for Starting Posting Now

Additional Tips to Start Posting Now

  1. Lower the Stakes: Treat your first few posts as experiments. Not every post has to be perfect—just post.

  2. Find Inspiration: Look at LinkedIn influencers in your field. Reverse-engineer their successful posts.

  3. Leverage Curiosity: Start posts with questions or intriguing statements to draw readers in.

  4. Engage Before and After: Spend time commenting and connecting with others to build visibility and rapport.

  5. Experiment with Formats: Test carousels, text-only posts, or short videos. See what resonates.

Overcoming Procrastination: Mindset and Action

Procrastination stems from fear and overwhelm. Here’s how to combat it:

  1. Start Small: Commit to a single post or comment per day.

  2. Use Accountability: Share your goal with a friend or colleague and ask them to check-in.

  3. Visualize Success: Imagine the benefits of consistent posting—more connections, engagement, and opportunities.

  4. Reward Yourself: Celebrate small wins, like your first comment or engagement spike.

  5. Create Urgency: Set deadlines for yourself. For example, “I will post by 9 AM every day this week.”
