3. **Draft five post formats** — Generate one tactical post, one story post, one list post, one lesson post, and one opinion post. Tool: ChatGPT. Expected output: Five complete LinkedIn drafts.
4. **Polish and schedule** — Store final drafts in a Notion content calendar with post status, publish date, and source video link. Tool: Notion. Expected output: A ready-to-publish content queue.
