Hey friend,

Does September feel like a fresh notebook to you, too?​
​Crisp, full of possibility… and maybe a little like a breath of fresh air when you’re not staring at a mountain of half-finished lists?

​

​

Reader, if you’re feeling that mix of “let’s do this!” energy and “where do I even begin?” overwhelm, you’re so not alone. Between school and extra curricular drop-offs, client calls, and the never-ending snack requests (do your kids also seem like they have a bottomless snack stomach?), our systems can get as scattered as the leaves on the driveway.
​

The Digital Mess We’re All Living In

Sticky notes on your laptop, reminders on your phone, seven apps open right now... sound familiar? 🙋🏽‍♀️

Here’s your permission slip to simplify.
​Pick one central hub (ClickUp is my ride-or-die!) and start moving your scattered notes, reminders, and to-dos into one place.
​
​Less app-hopping = more brain space for making memories, not just managing tasks.
​

Inbox to Done

Ever had to hunt down a client request in your inbox? (Guilty as charged.)

Try this:
​Set up ClickUp’s email-to-task feature so every client email becomes a trackable task.
No more digging through threads or missing deadlines—just clear, actionable next steps.
​

Scaling, Simplified

Feeling like you’re always three steps behind—missing messages, scrambling through DMs, and wondering how you’ll ever keep up as your business grows?

Here’s the good news: ​
With just one simple, automated workflow in ClickUp, you can turn what used to be a two-hour stress fest (like onboarding a new client) into a quick, focused process that actually feels doable.

Same results, less chaos and a whole lot more peace of mind.
Because scaling your business shouldn’t mean scaling your overwhelm.

​

CEO-Only Zone

Here’s the question that changed everything for me (and my clients):

“What’s the one task only I can do—and what can be automated, delegated, or deleted?”

Your unique magic shouldn’t be spent on repetitive tasks that a system could handle.
​You’re the CEO, not the chief everything officer.

​
Automate vs. Delegate

Quick rule of thumb for your to-do list today:

• If it’s repetitive → automate
• If it needs judgment or your unique touch → delegate

Run your list through this filter and watch your workload shrink (and your freedom grow).

​
Start Small, Feel the Shift

You don’t need a total overhaul to feel more in control this fall.
Just a few intentional tweaks, a little digital decluttering, and the courage to let go of what’s not serving you.

Here’s to a season of systems that actually give you your time back—so you can focus on what matters most (like extra snuggles or a quiet cup of coffee!).​
​
​
​Warmly,
​Ria
