Let’s be real—your brain wasn’t meant to carry every client task, content idea, and “buy oat milk” reminder. In this episode, I’m breaking down why a project management tool isn’t just a “nice to have” but a “how-am-I-not-using-this-already” kind of tool—no matter where you are in your business journey.

Whether you’re still riding solo or wrangling a growing team, I’ll walk you through:

  • Why a PM tool is your ticket to less mental clutter and more clarity
  • How repeatable tasks = sneaky SOPs (and yes, you're fancy now)
  • Prioritization hacks to help you work smarter, not longer
  • How to actually tell if you have the bandwidth to say “yes” to more
  • The game-changing benefit of smoother onboarding for your VA, team, or support pro
  • A reminder not to turn your PM tool into another full-time job
  • A quick look at tools like Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Notion, Airtable—and even spreadsheets if that’s your jam
  • Bonus: Some tools even connect with your email (yep, magic)

Your challenge: Pick one repeatable task (like client onboarding or sending your weekly newsletter) and build it into your project management tool of choice. Make it easy. Make it repeatable. Your future self is already doing a happy dance.
