Hey I'm Liz, a website designer turned Studio Manager. I'm low-key obsessed with making the systems and tech in your business ridiculously simple. I share practical strategies, behind-the-scenes looks at what’s working (and what's not), and the occasional reminder that you don’t have to do it all.

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

Lately, I’ve seen an uptick in the same narrative: If you want more impact, more money, and better work-life balance, you have to scale. Maybe it was just my Monster kicking in, but honestly? I got fired up over how much BS that is. For years, I worked behind the scenes with clients as they built bigger teams, turned their businesses into agencies, and chased the version of success we’ve all been told is the only way to level up. And for some? That worked. But the older my son gets (and let’s...
I watched a reel the other day with college students saying how many unread texts they had. All but one had over 100 unread messages, someone even had like over a thousand💀 Reader, I about had a heart attack over that. Honestly, my brain would just short-circuit if I had that many unread texts. I might actually just throw my phone away and get a new numberrrrr. This week I had like 50 at one time but it’s because a group chat went off. One of my friends rescued a puppy left at a Walmart...
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...
