Your to-do list isn’t the problem. How you filter it is.

Published about 7 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Sending this one a day early, because tomorrow is Thanksgiving for those of us in the U.S. If you celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving!

Ok, so let's talk about all those to-dos on your list..

If your list feels never-ending, it’s probably because you’re saying yes to too much or not filtering with intention.

Let’s fix that.

Here’s a simple 3-question filter to run every task through before it eats up your time, energy, or sanity:

Is this connected to my current 30-day focus? If not, park it. (You can come back to it later.)
Does it directly support revenue, audience growth, or clarity? If it doesn’t move your business forward in one of those areas, it might not need to happen right now (or at all).
Does it need to be me? Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should. Delegate it, templatize it, or automate it if possible.

You’ll be surprised how many “urgent” tasks disappear when you put them through this lens.

So before your next work session, run your to-do list through this filter.

Cut the fluff. Focus on what matters.

Let me know if you try this. I’d love to hear how it goes. Hit 'reply' and let me know.

~ Jeff

I appreciate you.

It's harder to scale with just one offer.

Hey Reader, If you’ve been wondering why your revenue feels like a roller coaster, here’s a hard truth:A lot of businesses plateau when they only have one offer. A single course, a single PD session, a single tutoring package, a single coaching program… it’s all the same problem. You’re basically leading people up to a cliff and hoping they’ll jump into something bigger on their own. Most won’t. Not because they don’t like you or your work, but because you didn’t give them a next step. That’s...

One Thing for the Next 30 Days.

Hey Reader, If you’re in a season of overwhelm, one of the simplest ways to get traction is to choose one clear focus for the next 30 days. That’s it. One. Not because you can’t do more, but because your energy is a limited resource, and you’re more likely to finish what you start when you’re not juggling 18 other things. Here’s what that one thing could look like: Grow your email list by 50 people Create and launch a small paid offer Start posting 2x/week on LinkedIn Interview 5 ideal...
