A question for anyone who has moved from momentum posting to a fixed cap.

Momentum posting sounds fine in theory. Post when you have something good, skip when you don't.

In practice it means strong weeks and filler weeks, decided by mood rather than a plan.

So the alternative is a hard cap. Four posts a week, no more, regardless of how many ideas are sitting in the drafts folder.

The theory is that a cap forces sharper editing. You have four slots, so only the four strongest ideas survive, and everything else waits or dies.

The counter-theory is that a cap just cuts good ideas early, before they had time to become the strongest version of themselves.

Both can be true depending on the week. That's what makes this worth asking instead of assuming.

If you've tried a fixed weekly cap, what actually changed in your editing process? Did you cut faster, or did you just cut differently?
