If your workflow looks like a tech startup graveyard: Sticky notes in Notion, comments lost in Google Docs, reminders in 5 apps and still nothing done..
You don’t need another productivity hack. You need a system that you’ll actually use. And a nap. Almost definitely a nap.

…and then trying to get through them as quick as possible to get “ahead” of the timeline. 🙂↕️

You don’t need to hire more people, work longer hours, or find better employees.
If you’re always scrambling and coordinating and putting out fires, those aren’t ’normal business problems’. You need a better system.

“How did you get into systems?”
I got tired of watching people take 10 steps to do something when 5 would do.
Ok, there are other reason, but that’s the main one.

Who else is affected by this process?
What happens when this breaks?

Gotta understand context first.

And that’s why you call me in to do it.
