You have a purpose line, a clear identity, a simple stack, and a first anthem draft. Now turn that into a plan you can follow for the next 90 days.
This guide keeps it simple: a short weekly rhythm, one sharing goal, and a review loop. When you finish, you’ll have everything needed for a focused 1-on-1 strategy session.
Build a 90-day plan (three parts)
-
Weekly actions: create, learn, share.
-
One sharing goal: a release or series you can finish.
-
Consistency cue: a reminder that keeps you steady.
Short plans work. Long plans get skipped.
12-week outline (use as a template)
Weeks 1–4 — Draft and test
- Create: 2 short writing sessions per week (15–30 min).
- Test: one 20–30s demo each week.
- Share: 1 small post (clip, lyric card, or process note).
Weeks 5–8 — Refine and package
- Pick your best idea and improve the words.
- Make a simple visual template you can reuse.
- Share: a weekly update or teaser.
Weeks 9–12 — Release and review
- Release your piece (or post a series of clips).
- Collect feedback from a small group.
- Write a one-page notes summary (what to repeat, what to drop).
Planner prompt (use with ChatGPT or similar)
You are a creative strategist. Based on my anthem idea and identity line,
outline a 90-day plan with:
1) weekly creative actions,
2) one sharing goal,
3) a simple consistency reminder (personal or faith-based).

Distribution paths (pick one for this cycle)
Direct sharing (free)
- Post a 20–30s clip or lyric card once a week.
- Pin your best post for the month.
Community sharing (feedback)
- Share in a small creator group or forum.
- Ask for one note only: “What line or moment stuck with you?”
Streaming distribution (when ready)
- Prepare your assets: audio file, cover, title, credits.
- Schedule release; write a 2-sentence description.
Choose one path and finish it. You can rotate paths next quarter.
Track simple metrics (10 minutes a week)
-
Outputs: demos, posts, releases (with dates).
-
Signals: comments, saves, replies, shares.
-
Notes: one sentence on what to repeat next week.
A short log beats a perfect dashboard.
Weekly review (5 steps)
- Did I create? (yes/no)
- Did I share? (yes/no)
- What worked?
- What dragged?
- What will I repeat next week?
Copy last week’s wins into next week’s plan.

For beginners
Keep the plan light: two short sessions a week, one small share. That’s enough.
For professionals
Limit inputs; protect attention. Enforce one metaphor system and one output format for the quarter.
Faith & consistency (optional but honest)
Integrity is a practice. If a simple prayer, verse, or value reminder keeps you steady, include it in your weekly plan. Quiet anchors build durable work.
What comes next
You have a plan you can follow and a clear reason for it. Finish this cycle, then review. Keep what worked. Replace what didn’t. That’s how a voice grows.
