Tactic Tradeoffs: fixed slots vs flexible scheduling

Tactic Tradeoffs: fixed slots vs flexible scheduling
Lock your posting times, or stay loose? Each buys you a different thing:
—
Fixed slots — best for habit and audience expectation; same days, same times, no decisions [framework]
—
Flexible — best when content quality varies and you'd rather skip than fill a slot with weak work [tactic]
—
The hidden cost of flexible — every post becomes a 'should I post today' debate, and debates lose
—
The hidden cost of fixed — you ship filler to honor the slot
—
Middle path — fixed days, flexible content, with a 'skip beats filler' rule written down
