Sample Output
Input Topic: "Remote Work Productivity Tips"
Generated Post:
🏠 Working from home has taught me that productivity isn't about being busy—it's about being intentional.

After managing remote teams for 3 years, I've discovered that the most successful remote workers share three key habits that transform their daily performance.

First, they create physical boundaries even in small spaces. A dedicated workspace signals to your brain that it's time to focus, even if it's just a corner of your kitchen table.

Second, they batch similar tasks together. Instead of jumping between emails, calls, and deep work, they group activities to maintain mental flow and reduce cognitive switching costs.

Third, they communicate proactively rather than reactively. They share progress updates before being asked and clarify expectations upfront to avoid confusion later.

What's your most effective remote work strategy? I'd love to hear what's working for your team! 💪
