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

Published about 2 months 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:

  1. Is this connected to my current 30-day focus? If not, park it. (You can come back to it later.)
  2. 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).
  3. 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.

Hey Reader, I said it before, and I’ll keep saying it: AI isn’t the future anymore. It’s just part of the environment now. “AI-powered” no longer impresses anyone. It’s expected. Everyone uses it. Every tool has it built in. Every platform integrates it. Every update mentions it. And yet, most of us feel more overwhelmed than ever. Not because we aren’t using AI. But because we’re constantly wondering if we’re using the right AI. Here’s the reality AI tech companies don’t want to admit: Most...

Hey friend, We made it! Not just to a new year, but through another year of building, experimenting, winning, losing, learning, and creating together. And whether 2025 felt like momentum or maintenance, big wins or slow steps, I want to take a moment to celebrate what you’ve done. Because the truth is, most people never even start. But you did. You’re building something that matters. And that’s worth raising a glass to. 🥂 As we step into 2026, I want to let you in on where we’re heading and...

Hey Reader, 2026 will most likely be another hard year. And That’s Okay. Every December, the same promises show up right on schedule. 🥳 “New year, new you.” 🥂 “Everything changes in January.” 🎉 “This is the year it all clicks.” It sounds nice. It looks good in an Instagram post. And it feels good to say as you watch the ball drop. But it also ignores the reality of being in business. The calendar flipping doesn't get rid of your stress. It doesn't solve the problems you've avoided. It doesn't...
