The workflow tweak that ended my publishing chaos: a one-draft buffer.

The workflow tweak that ended my publishing chaos: a one-draft buffer.

For a year I published whatever was finished that day. Frantic. Quality swung wild.

Now I keep exactly ONE finished-and-edited post in the chamber at all times. Publish today's, the buffer slides up, the new draft fills the back.

— No more 11pm 'we need a post' panic edits
— Every published post sat 48h and got a cold re-read
— Typos and weak intros caught the next morning, every time

One post of slack is the difference between a system and a scramble. Build the buffer. Thank me later.
