The best emails aren’t the ones you planned six weeks in advance.
They’re the ones you felt.

Your audience doesn’t remember what you scheduled.
They remember what you meant.

I once built the perfect calendar.
Color-coded. Strategically timed. “Optimized” within an inch of its life.

Every send was plotted. Every subject line prewritten.

And when launch week came?
Crickets. 🦗

The strategy was flawless. But the energy was flat.

I’d mapped it all out so carefully that I squeezed the life out of it.
It read like a marketing textbook, not like me.

That’s when I realized:

Strategy without energy is noise. Energy without strategy is art that no one sees. The sweet spot is both.

Here’s why Lena (and you) can’t rely only on calendars:

You’re not a machine. Some weeks you’re overflowing with ideas. Other weeks, not so much. A rigid schedule ignores your natural waves. 🌊

They can tell when you wrote with spark — versus when you forced yourself.
A forced email says, “I had to.”
A sparked email says, “I had to share this.”

When your calendar is too full, you suffocate inspiration. When you leave room, ideas find you.

This doesn’t mean you throw out all structure. It means you anchor with rhythm and flex with energy.

Here’s how:

1.     Anchor your rhythm.
Decide your “minimum baseline” — e.g., 1 email a week.
This gives your readers consistency.

2.     Build a buffer.
When you’re flowing, write extras. Store them in a “spark folder.”
On low-energy weeks, pull from the buffer instead of forcing.

3.     Check your energy before you send.
Quick gut test:

o      Does this feel like obligation? ➡️ Save it for later.

o      Does this feel alive? ➡️ Hit send.

4.     Mix strategy with spark.
Let your calendar remind you of your goals… but let your energy decide how you tell the story.

Your inbox doesn’t need more perfectly scheduled content.
It needs more presence.

Readers won’t remember your “Q4 calendar.”
They’ll remember how your words made them feel.

And feelings don’t come from a calendar.
They come from you.
