The AI Content Planner You Can Use Every Sunday

If your content plan for the week usually lives in your head… until Monday morning rolls around and you’re scrambling for ideas - you’re not alone.

One of the most common struggles I see from business owners is this:
They want to post consistently, but they’re always creating in “panic mode.” And when you create under pressure, your posts tend to be rushed, repetitive, or… just plain uninspired.

Here’s the fix:
Spend just 30 minutes every Sunday planning your week using AI as your content assistant.
That way, you wake up on Monday with a ready-to-go plan, ideas you actually like, and zero stress about “what to post.”

Step 1 - Give AI Your Weekly Goals

AI works best when it has a clear target. Before you start, decide:

• Do you want to drive engagement?

• Do you want to promote a product or service?

• Do you want to grow followers?

Example: If my focus this week is building trust, I’ll tell AI:

“I’m a [niche] business owner. This week my content goal is to build trust with my audience before promoting my [offer/service].”

Step 2 - Ask for a Platform Mix

Instead of coming up with content for each platform individually, let AI map it out for you.

Prompt example:

“Create a 5-day content plan for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Make each post idea different but aligned with my weekly goal. Include hooks, CTAs, and recommended formats (e.g., carousel, Reel, text post, poll).”

Now you have a full cross-platform content map before Monday even starts.

Step 3 - Fill in Your Content Pillars

If you’ve got content pillars (like education, entertainment, behind-the-scenes, sales), AI can help you hit them all in a week.

Prompt example:

“Here are my 4 content pillars: [list yours]. Using my weekly goal and these pillars, create one idea per pillar that I can post this week.”

Suddenly, you’ve got variety and strategy - no more posting the same type of content every day.

Step 4 - Assign and Prep

Once you’ve got your ideas, assign each one to a day.
Batch-create graphics, captions, or video scripts now - so the week ahead runs smoothly.

This is where AI can also help you:

“Write a 100-word Instagram caption for this idea: [paste idea]. Give me a TikTok script version and a short LinkedIn post version too.”

💡 Why This Works

• You’re setting a rhythm your audience can rely on

• You save hours by batching instead of posting on the fly

• AI gives you structure, but you can still tweak to keep your brand’s personality

• Consistency without burnout = long-term growth
