💡 A quick win

I'm willing to bet everything has got 100 times busier for you this week. The last thing you want to do right now is stare at a blank cursor trying to "be creative".

Take the social media pressure off your plate. Your audience hasn't memorised your Instagram grid. They don't remember that brilliant post from last March.

So, open your Instagram insights. Find your top 12 performing posts from earlier this year. Tweak anything that is no longer relevant. And schedule them to auto-post over the coming weeks.

You could even make it a series: "The 12 Posts of [Your Brand]"

Let that go out over the holidays so you can finally wind down and switch off.

💭 This week at XOmisse

As you can see, I've decided to stick with Kit for another year. But I'm doing a big overhaul in the backend to get everything updated and organised.

It's been a fab week of catch-ups, including lunch with the bCreator team and drinks with the Blink Management team discussing 2026 plans.

I'm likely going to be a little quiet over the coming weeks while I prep some big things that will be launching in January!
