The pipeline IS the calendar. Each list is a state, not a date.
Calendar power-up shows the month. Cards without due dates don't exist.
Blog, newsletter, social — each with a checklist (outline, draft, edit, assets, publish). Checklists make quality repeatable.
Blog / email / social / video. At a glance you see the mix, not just the volume.
Add 3–5 idea cards weekly. The Ideas list running empty is the real content-calendar failure mode.
