878. Why Less Is More When It Comes To Systems And Workflows

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve been getting alot of DMs about how we keep track of and organize our ideas, plans, and projects. Lauren and I are diving in on the tech systems that we use, how we prioritize tasks, and why we keep things as simple and user-friendly as possible. It might surprise people to hear that we rely on Google Drive for just about everything, but Lauren is a master at building out progress trackers and dashboards that keep everyone dialed in on what they need to be doing. She also is great at keeping tabs on bigger-picture items. I share how I personally organize the notes section on my phone, and why it’s so important to sit with your ideas for a little bit instead of sharing every single thought with your team. We also highlight why it’s so important to niche down and start with a very focused vision, even when you have big dreams for your company. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Figuring out which ideas are worth pursuing, and which ones can be put on the back burner</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How we keep track of contacts who have offered help or a favor in the past </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Learning how to become more organized as an ideator </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Our flagging process with emails </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Limiting distractions within our workflows and systems </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Integrating Simon Sinek’s</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Start-Why-Leaders-Inspire-Everyone/dp/1591846447"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Start With Why</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">approach  </span></li> <li s
