The Weekly Rhythm

A healthy week of Professor High content has rhythm — viewers learn when to expect what, and the platforms learn what kind of content this account makes. The calendar below is the minimum viable weekly mix. Scale up by adding more posts per day as production capacity grows.

How To Edit This Calendar

This calendar is the template. Real-life weeks deviate. When deviating:
  1. Keep the pillar percentages roughly intact across a 4-week window.
  2. Daily anchors should hold even if the rest shifts.
  3. Tentpoles take precedence. If the monthly tentpole is shipping, other content can quiet down that week.
  4. Track actual posting cadence in the Drafts queue and audit monthly.
