The columns that matter

• Name: a short working title, so you can find the post again.
• Scheduled date: when it goes out. A date with a time posts at that time; a date on its own posts at your default time.
• Media: the image, carousel or video. A Canva link works too.
• Caption: written in the row, so the words and the picture never drift apart.
• Status: idea, in progress, ready, done. It is how you see what is stuck.
• Platforms: where each post goes. Left empty, it goes everywhere you have connected.

Three views worth keeping

• Calendar for the month at a glance: gaps and crowded days show up straight away.
• Board by status for the work itself: drag a post from idea to ready as it moves.
• The grid, which is what Ninecast adds: your planned posts as they will look on your profile, right on the same page, so you see the feed before it exists.

A weekly rhythm

Most people who stay consistent work in batches rather than daily. One session to fill next week's ideas, one to make the visuals and write the captions, then a look at the grid to check colours and order before anything is scheduled. Once the dates are in, posting takes care of itself.
