Prepare three or four setups, and nothing else. A setup is one outfit (or look), one spot, one light. Everything you shoot in it uses the same conditions, so your footage matches and you never have to re-light.
Shoot in a fixed order: videos first, photos second, behind-the-scenes throughout. Videos need your freshest energy and your best hair and makeup. Photos can wait for the end, when you're warmed up and more relaxed.
Finish in this order: select, edit, caption, schedule. Doing one task at a time for the whole batch is much faster than finishing each piece completely before starting the next.
Draft your recurring messages in advance, but keep the human part human. Batching helps you here too:
