# 3-Part Content Strategy Framework

> A personal content framework based on past, present, and future self

This is a simple content strategy framework designed by Mo Ismail to generate authentic ideas and reduce creative block. It prompts creators to make content from three perspectives: teaching their past self, sharing what their present self is learning, and reinforcing their future self's ambitions. It anchors content generation in personal experience rather than abstract topics.

## How it works

Content strategy framework:

1. Teach past you: Create content you would have needed 2-3 years ago.
2. Advance current you: Create content about what you are actively learning right now.
3. Fulfill future you: Create content to remind you where you are going.

## What it is for

- Brainstorm authentic social media and blog topics when stuck on ideas
- Overcome imposter syndrome by teaching skills previously mastered
- Document active learning processes to engage a niche audience
- Establish public goals and direction to stay aligned with long-term aspirations

## Key points

- Teach past you: produce content and lessons that would have helped you 2–3 years ago
- Advance current you: share notes, breakdowns, and experiments from what you are actively learning today
- Fulfill future you: post about your overarching vision, values, and reminders of where you want to go
