    #016: How I plan YouTube videos in 3 steps

    Summary After five years of trial and error, I finally built a system that keeps me consistent on YouTube without burning out or getting stuck on what to post next. The Creator Series Engine is a simple framework with 3 levels: series, seasons, and episodes. Each level helps me organize ideas, batch content, and stay flexible across tutorials, systems, and behind-the-scenes vlogs. In this episode, I break down how I use it to plan videos faster, keep my channel organized, and turn creativity into a sustainable habit. You can watch the full walkthrough and grab the step-by-step guide on Substack.
