While it may seem that writing a Facebook update, adding an image and clicking “Publish” doesn't take long at all, each time you have to shift gears from something else to complete this small task requires a transition of thought, time spent researching, and then time in the platform itself getting it all set up and ready for public viewing. Improve your flow and efficiency by setting aside a time each week for social media scheduling to research, write and schedule a week’s worth of posts all at once — you’ll use less time overall and be able to create a more cohesive flow and strategy to your social media content when you work in batches. Facebook and Twitter both allow advance scheduling directly within their business page accounts. LinkedIn users will need to a third-party social media content management app to schedule posts in advance. Here are the directions from [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/help/389849807718635) and [Twitter](https://business.twitter.com/en/help/campaign-editing-and-optimization/scheduled-tweets.html) for scheduling posts in advance.
