2 Quick hacks to kick off your week
|
Let’s start with Asana, Mk Reader? I don’t know about you but sometimes seeing my task list in Asana can get to be too much. Especially if you’ve got A LOT of them. Enter My Tasks.It’s my go-to place to see alllll the tasks that are assigned to me. But if we’ve got a bunch of active projects with all of the tasks assigned out, it can get overwhelming seeing my “to do” list. One of the easiest things you can do is setup you My Tasks tab to work for you. Sure, you probably have it set to sort by due date and that’s about it. But if you’re getting overwhelmed with seeing everything assigned to you, it’s time to add some filters. On the My Tasks page, click “Filters” then click incomplete, then Due This Week, and Due Next Week. This will now ONLY show you incomplete tasks due this or next week. Everything else is totally hidden. If your list this week is too much, you can just omit the Due Next Week filter. Alrighty, now for a fun one I learned from a previous client and friend, Allea of Duett. This is probably my hands down favorite Google Drive hack ever. If you store PDFs in Google Drive and send those links out for any reason (ie. Lead Magnet, Services Guide, Welcome Guide, etc.) then this is for you. Google Drive has a sneaky little feature called “Manage Versions”. This little feature allows you to update the version of your PDF WITHOUT breaking the links or uploading the PDF as a new link. How it works:
The link will stay exactly the same as before, so anyone with that link will always have the most up-to-date PDF. AND you no longer have to go through every place you’ve linked that PDF and swap the link. And if you’re ever concerned about losing a version or need to see them, you can follow those steps and see AND download the previous versions. Pretty neat huh? It’s literally a favorite of mine to do with clients now whenever we have to update our PDFs. Anywho, those are some of my favorite little tricks/hacks whatever you want to call them for this week! Over and out 🫡 Liz Ps. I asked on Threads this week about email sign offs and that one ^ was one of my faves

When was the last time you ran an audit on your services Reader? Client experience can absolutely make or break everything. If you haven't done an audit on your client experience in a while, here's one of the top audits I do for my clients when we first start working together: the new lead/inquiry process. Here's a quick overview of what that process might look like: Ready to dive in and run your own lead inquiry process audit? Let's go ⤵️ Fill out your own contact form What happens once the...
Nothing makes me roll my eyes more Reader than when everyone suddenly jumps on the bandwagon for a certain tool because everyone and their mother is talking about it that week. I'm looking at you Notion. 👀 Not every tool is going to be a fit for you. Whether it’s because of the way you think or work, the way your team is built, your budget, or how your clients work with you, the most talked about tools out there might not be for you. That’s why there are so many tools out there — because...
Alrighty Reader Let's talk priorities and time management. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to juggle everything. From nurturing leads and managing client projects to keeping up with any kind of consistent marketing to making sure you’re actually drinking water (but let's be honest, making sure we're hydrating as much as we are caffeinating!). All alongside making sure you have some semblance of a personal life, it’s hard. As business owners we have essentially 2 (main) hats:...
