1/ Keeping it simple is always the right move. Before you move into more complex setups and tools, make sure you have your 3 essential systems sorted.

- Inbox
- File organization
- Project management system

Taking care of these sets the foundation

2/ Inbox management

You don't need to strive for inbox zero but having a system in place to handle emails will save you time. In Gmail use labels like mini mailboxes to organize messages and filters to automate email sorting.

3/ Create labels for things like: clients, receipts, PR requests, payments, etc.

Create filters to sort messages based on email address, subject line, keywords, etc. Filtered emails can be directed to skip the inbox or go straight to trash

4/ File Organization

Google Drive & Dropbox can make accessing and sharing your files simple.

Create a basic file structure for different areas of your biz. Ex. Finances, branding, lead magnets, podcast episodes

5/ Save all your biz related files with descriptive names & use the search function to save time.

Take advantage of file sharing settings to share files with contractors that you hire. You can also make things like your media kit available to download for collaborators.

6/ Project Management System

You are not too small to utilize a project management system. There are plenty of options. Don't overthink this. Pick a system that fits your needs and commit to learning how to use it for your biz.

7/ To start take your client + content creation process and write out the steps in your workflow. Create a board for each one and enter each step as a task. Give yourself reasonable deadlines. Make it a part of your routine to check it every day and update it every week
