stop watching *bullshit* ClickUp tutorials 😇

Friends of mine own a store here in town called The Artful Barkeep, and people keep walking in thinking its a bakery. 🤔 This got me thinking, Reader: You should probably know what the Focus Framework is not (besides not being a bakery)... It's not another mostly irrelevant $47 template on Etsy that someone threw together in hopes of getting summa'that passive income everyone's drooling over 🤤 It's not a generic ClickUp University course that's created for the every Tom, Dick, and Sally who...

If you read my email the other day, then you know why YOUR HOT READER SUMMER needs to be spent taming that freelance beast... 👹 It's the difference between secretly resenting your work and LOVING it for all that it makes possible. (hello long weekends, planned time off, and starting work at 10am) I'm just *guessing here* but I doubt you became a freelancer to work longer & harder You probably didn't visualize more hours and less money? It's highly unlikely that lying awake thinking about...

Yee-haw, Happy Canada's Day to my fellow Canucks. 🇨🇦 My husband and I celebrated up on a stage... actually two stages but I don't have a photo of either so here is last years 🤪 If there's one thing I fkn LOVE most about freelancing since ClickUp came into my life... On weekends and evenings, I don't think about work for a single second. Even at my busiest, I haven't thought about client work outside of working hours in forever. When I check off that last to-do in my master task list and it's...

There's this fun personality trait I've had since birth (thanks mom) that really doesn't jive with entrepreneurship. My husband is late getting home: HE MUST HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. My dog ate something on our walk: HE'S GOING TO DIE IN FRONT OF MY EYES. Panic mode. Catastrophizing. Drama llama. Whatever you wanna call it, I got it good. So obviously when I tried to launch Focus Framework on Monday and ended up losing 26 subscribers and reaching absolutely no one because of some tech...

Reader, If you read my email yesterday, then you know why your *sole focus* this summer should be on DIALING IN YOUR CLICKUP SYSTEMS. It’s the difference between drowning in client work chaos and managing your workload like a PRO. (If you didn't read yesterdays email bc you don't care about the Focus Framework rn, click here to mute the promo and mum's the word 🤫) & let’s be so fkn for real right now… → You're bouncing between 47 different views trying to find something that doesn't make you...

Reader, Last year, a prospective client asked me for help with something that sounded simple... but I fkn knew better. Pre-ClickUp me would have went into analysis paralysis mode. They had no idea what they needed – they just wanted to "sell tickets to an event" (So simple, right??) One discovery call later and I whipped up a proposal that pulled together ALL of my skillsets to make it happen: from messaging, landing pages, social media, social ads, email marketing... Had I done a project...

Run away or face your task list? When I feel overwhelmed, I have this all-consuming sensation of wanting to run tf away. Like... where am I going? Obviously you can't outrun your thoughts, Robyn. I recently started running again after a minor knee surgery in 2023 and I felt like a dog off leash for the first time. Until I went too hard in full strides like a fucking speed demon on the indoor track and re-injured it... It felt SO GOOD to run full tilt and act like I don't fill my lungs daily...

April 2022 we drove six hours to an Amish town for a puppy we had no business getting. The week before our wedding I'm sobbing in a field because this dog is a nightmare, barking, lunging, losing his absolute mind over everything. For someone who gets overwhelmed easily? I was a SHELL of myself. Fast-forward to 3-years in and I finally know how to manage him. If you're a dog person, you know exactly what I mean when you finally develop that special, unspoken language with your furry friend. 🥹...

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...

There's a chair in the corner of my bedroom (which is also my office) and it's ALWAYS covered in clothes. I let this thing get mountainous before I finally reach my breaking point. After working from home for 10 years, for a fact I can say that working in a messy space fuels my anxiety. And for real, being a freelancer can be super anxiety-inducing. Being an entrepreneur of any kind is a lot. I keep telling my friend who's also a business owner that the constant chaos & problem solving is...
