Social Media Burnout is Real — Here’s What to Do About It

Running a small business? Posting on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok while managing your books, emails, clients, staff, inventory, and mental health?

Yeah… no wonder why you’re exhausted.

If just the thought of posting (again) makes your stomach turn or your brain freeze, this one’s for you.

Here’s the truth:

Social media burnout is real… and it’s happening to more business owners than ever. 

We hear it every day.
“You need to post more.”
“You’re not doing enough video.”
“Have you tried Threads yet?”
“Don’t forget Pinterest!”
All while you’re just trying to keep your business running.

Let’s take the pressure off. Let’s talk about why it happens and what to do about it.

Why It Happens

You're wearing too many hats:  business owner, content creator, marketer, customer service, admin. The pressure to show up constantly on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok (and now Threads?) is exhausting.

What to Do About It

Let’s make things easier: 

1. Pick One Platform First

Focus where your audience is most active. You don’t need to be everywhere. Just consistent in one place.

2. Batch Content Weekly

Spend 1–2 hours each week planning posts. Create 3–4 and schedule them. Done is better than perfect.

3. Repurpose What You Already Have

Old posts, testimonials, FAQs, and blogs are gold. Reuse, re-share, rework.

4. Use the Right Tools

Scheduling apps, templates, and editing tools can save hours. Automate what you can.

5. Ask for Help

You don’t have to do it all. Even a little outside support can help you breathe again.

Final Thought

You’re not failing. You’re just doing too much.
Your time, energy, and peace matter. Social media should support your business, not drain it.
