Coffee in One Hand, Redlark Ping in the Other — And Why My Thumb’s the Real MVP
I used to dread social media because it felt like a full-time job—hours lost scrolling, trying to figure out what to post, juggling too many apps. Now, it’s different. It’s not a morning ritual or a scheduled chore. Instead, Redlark pings me at random times throughout the day with exactly what I should post.
And here’s the key: it’s not just some vague summary or generic suggestion. Each text tells me why the post matters, what my audience is already talking about, and why this is relevant right now. Something like: “People in your niche are posting about X, Y, and Z—so here’s a draft you can send.”
That directness takes all the guesswork out. I don’t have to scroll endlessly to find context. I get the pulse in bite-sized, actionable pieces.
When I get a ping, my thumb takes over. Sometimes I just tap “send” right away. Other times, I tweak the draft to fit my voice better—a sentence here, a phrase there. Those small edits make the difference between sounding robotic and sounding like me.
The randomness of the pings is surprisingly powerful. Instead of carving out a big chunk of time, I’m able to handle social media in small, manageable bursts—when I’m ready and not overwhelmed.
This simple process transformed how I think about social posting. It’s no longer a time sink or an interruption. It’s a seamless part of my workflow, guided by relevant, timely prompts that keep me connected to my community without burning me out.
So yes, my thumb is the real MVP. It’s the one that decides what goes live and what needs a little human touch. And that’s the balance that makes all the difference.
