I am going to share these with you today in the hopes of helping you manage your time and energy better with your business, team and clients.

Evolving ways of doing and listing down tasks and priorities
Back in the day, the only way I knew to organise my activities was having a to-do list. Next thing you know, I had lists of lists and an overwhelming amount of sticky notes. It was good but it wasn’t helping me focus and prioritise in a calm and well-regulated manner.
Technology and apps then became available, but all were list-based too. Asana, Trello, Slack, Monday, Flow, and many more apps came to help you with to-do lists and bring in team members to help with each project, add channels, share files, communicate, and help with task progression. These are good apps, but can still be a little bit of overwhelm.

- Striving for streamlined and high-performing workflows and teams.
- 2 things that we do to have a sense of flow and ease.
