Some people don't swoon for ClickUp right away

"Its gonna be my third try giving ClickUp a shot haha I keep going back to teamwork but I'm over them now"

^ An old colleague of mine shot me this message the other day on LinkedIn.

His third try giving ClickUp a shot?! Ex-squeeze me? Obviously I had to ask him how in the fresh hell did he give up on ClickUp, MORE than once??

"I think I'm too fixated on the [insert agency name] sprint process I don't know anything else"

I've come to the conclusion that people don't sign up for ClickUp for the same reasons that people like myself will drone on about and get $0 from the company for it...

ClickUp isn't just for client project management... HELLO 🙄

Trying JUST TO recreate a familiar project management process and running away when ClickUp isn't that? Sad face.

I'm here to tell you what all the fuss is about.

There are 3 things you want to achieve in ClickUp if you're a freelancer:

1. To create a central hub for literally everything in your business. All the information, all the links, all the attachments, all the passwords, all the clients, all the EVERYTHING. One place, find anything in 2-3 clicks.

2. To systemize & simplify the specific things you do in the business. From here on out, nothing lives in your brain, and anything that takes longer than 2 hours is a project, NOT a task. This is how you delegate. This is how you get a handle on time management.

3. To bring all to-do's and project management tracking to a singular place. This is the money maker. The booty shaker. The come to jesus, can't believe I ever lived without it kind of CONTROL.

But they need to happen IN THAT ORDER

Step 1. Bring all of your important information into one place.

Step 2. Take all the things you do and break them down into projects and tasks.

Step 3. Bring all of that into 2 singular views you use to effortlessly move it all forward.

ClickUp isn't one of those tools you sign up for and half-ass your way through

You can't convince yourself there isn't enough time to learn something new.

ClickUp is a SKILL you absolutely must master if you want to grow any business without feeling all over the place.

Save yourself from *inbox overload*

You know me. I talk about getting organized in ClickUp.

What I haven't talked about is email organization even though it can be a real crap shoot. As I was tidying up my inbox the other day, I realized how helpful it may be to share this:

Do you subscribe to newsletters to stay current in your industry? If you don't, you absolutely should.

If you do, you're probably getting a bunch of marketing emails everyday and it's stressing you out.

I use a free tool called Mailbrew, so instead of an inbox FULL of emails I may or may not care to read, I get ONE email digest.

​This is how it works​
