Sanity Saving Tips:
• Keep a running content audit
• Set aside time each week to read a section of your content you haven’t touched in a while
• Automate where it makes sense
• Be ok with not getting to everything … (I know it’s
not easy. I had to take my own advice when creating this presentation. It sucked.)

Sanity Saving Tips:
• Keep a running list of issues/items you want to fix – can be separate or a part of your audit
• Work with your project managers to get content strategy slated in as early as possible
• Find out what your technical limitations are (aka: don’t be afraid of IT)

A Good Reminder
“Stakeholders can’t see how terrible their content is because this isn’t their space. But it isour space, and it’s our job to show them how to make it better.”

Sanity Saving Tips:
• They’re just people – get to know them
• Play to each of their strengths
• If you don’t get them this time – you’ll get them the next time
