I have this funny video I took at a hostel in Chile from 2019.

Panning from my husband's bunk over to my bunk: mine's covered in shit and his is clean somehow?

Fewer things make me rage more than living out of a bag and never being able to find things...

Which can be a lot like ClickUp in the beginning

I'm seeing a pattern with every Power Hour I do: ClickUp is helping but it's also causing more stress.

It helps: bc finally there's somewhere to store all the scattered info and tasks, and it's obvious how much it can do.

But it can EASILY pile on to an already anxious feeling by being "disorganized" and overwhelming.

​Last week I suggested that you streamline your task status and task types.

But how does that make managing clients *easier*?

& when I say easy I mean:

When your settings are streamlined:

You unlock powerful high-level views that let you zoom out to track progress across all clients and create a daily plan that actually gets done (and still finish by 5).

With custom task statuses, custom task types, all that*extra crap* you don't need:

You're trying to look at everything at once. 🥲

... But when task types and task statuses are the same, and you use those powerful high-level views...

Instead of being paralyzed by everything that could be done:

You're only seeing what you planned to do right now.

You can fully focus and drive your work forward. (Don't sleep on the power of momentum, my friends)

You end up saving tangible HOURS every day not doing the overwhelm dance.

If your ClickUp feels like a hot mess, trust me... it's not a you problem.

It took me YEARS of testing and learning (I took a whole year off client work to do this btw) to FINALLY crack the ClickUp code and holy shitballs, it's been cloud9 ever since.

The struggle is real but the payoff is worthy.

If you're sick of ClickUp tutorial videos that are not at all what you need, but you're dedicated to making it work:

The Focus Framework is coming REAL SOON. Join the waitlist if you want first-access to the discounted price and a special bonus offer 😜
