I'm Jenna Paolo . I'm a business operations

consultant as well as a verify

1:50

click-up consultant , and essentially

1:53

what I do is I help my clients

1:55

maximize the way that they

1:57

utilize a project management tool called

1:59

ClickUp . I help them build out

2:01

the tool . I consult on the tool , but essentially

2:04

what I do is I want my

2:06

clients to marry their processes with

2:08

the tool so they can utilize ClickUp as

2:10

their centralized business hub and

2:12

have one place to go to manage their projects

2:15

, their people , their processes , all

2:17

of the things And mainly , who

2:19

I serve , i would say . I mean , it's

2:22

kind of varied . I work with a lot of different industries

2:24

, but I do work with a lot of coaches

2:26

. I work with a lot of digital

2:28

marketing agencies , hr consultancies

2:32

, people who are more

2:34

service based typically is

2:36

who I mostly serve , but my goal

2:38

really , no matter who you are , is to really

2:40

help you utilize ClickUp to maximize

2:43

the way that your business runs and

2:45

develop processes that just make sense

2:48

for you . Awesome .

2:49

Awesome . I can't wait to hear what

2:51

this episode is going to be about

2:53

, because , even though I've

2:55

been following you for a while , i purchased

2:57

one of your courses about I

3:00

want to say it was about a year ago and

3:02

it just really changed

3:04

everything in the back office

3:06

of my business , and not only

3:08

for my coaching business , but also

3:10

I own a commercial cleaning business . For some

3:13

of the people in my audience that knows that I'm a multi-passionate

3:16

entrepreneur But the importance

3:18

of utilizing this system in both

3:21

ends of my business , it was just truly eye

3:23

opening . So I'm super excited

3:25

to have you here Now . Jenna . Tell

3:27

us what inspired you to start your

3:30

business .

3:31

Yeah , so I actually come from a

3:33

background in educational operations

3:36

and I was managing large schools

3:39

, large teams , doing trainings

3:41

, doing all of those things . And when

3:43

I kind of made the shift into

3:45

the online space and one of my

3:47

main reasons for really

3:49

creating , making the shift is because

3:52

I was kind of overwork in the nine to

3:54

five , right Like I wanted to do my own thing

3:56

. I wanted more flexibility in my

3:58

schedule , i wanted to just

4:00

have more time to do the things that I loved

4:03

. And so , taking my experience

4:05

in educational operations and

4:07

kind of shifting that and utilizing

4:10

that background , that knowledge in the online

4:12

space , I was able to create a business

4:14

that I love .

4:17

Awesome . Do you think that there

4:19

was a big challenge when you shifted

4:21

from doing schools versus moving

4:23

into the online space ?

4:25

Yeah , i mean , there's

4:27

always going to be a challenge when you're moving

4:29

from something that you've been so used

4:31

to doing , right ? I was doing that for over 12

4:34

years And now I'm kind of shifting

4:36

into this new world

4:38

, right , that I'm not super familiar with

4:41

, not super comfortable with yet . So , yeah

4:43

, there are absolutely hurdles that I had

4:45

to kind of step over , and

4:47

I would say some of the big things that

4:49

stood out was that

4:51

I really had to . I was now

4:53

managing myself , right

4:56

, instead of being

4:58

confined to these hours of work and like

5:01

what I was supposed to be doing . And

5:03

so , being someone who

5:05

was really used to structure

5:07

and having this structure kind of created for

5:10

me , i then had to create that structure

5:12

for myself , right , and really start to

5:14

build a business . That

5:16

one took into consideration

5:18

what I wanted my life

5:20

to look like , right , and

5:22

two , how I could serve my clients in

5:25

the most effective way . And so , yeah

5:27

, there were challenges that definitely came

5:29

with that , especially in the beginning stages

5:31

, right , and

5:34

I would say even with every stage of business , there's

5:36

new challenges and new hurdles , right , but

5:38

I would say just getting started in the beginning was

5:40

one of the bigger hurdles .

5:42

Yeah , absolutely , and I'm so glad that you

5:44

bring that up , because one of the struggles

5:46

that I experienced when I left corporate in

5:48

2019 was that

5:50

I kind of lost the structure of

5:52

what my day looked like And

5:55

in that moment I was the most organized

5:57

person when I was in corporate and balancing all

5:59

the things . But leaving

6:01

that part of me , i kind

6:03

of lost myself in that and trying

6:05

to figure out . I was working all kinds of hours . I

6:08

didn't have a real structure of a client called me

6:10

on a Sunday . I picked up So

6:12

, even if it was taken away from family time . so I

6:14

didn't really have those boundaries set And

6:16

I can see how , for some that are moving

6:19

into something new , it just kind

6:21

of knocks you off your feet just trying to figure out what that

6:23

new process is going to look like .

6:26

Yeah , yeah , absolutely . Because you come

6:28

from having so much structure to

6:30

no structure at all And you have to kind

6:33

of build what you want that structure to look

6:35

like because you don't want it to mirror that 9 to 5

6:37

, right That you left . You want it to

6:39

be a structure that makes sense for

6:41

you and the life you want to live .

6:43

Yeah , for sure , For sure . So what

6:45

would you say was the pivotal moment

6:47

for you when you realized I

6:49

want to incorporate a system

6:51

and be specialized in

6:53

this system ? What was that

6:55

aha moment for you ?

6:58

Yeah , absolutely So . When I started my business , i

7:00

didn't go straight into ClickUp

7:02

. Right , i didn't even know what ClickUp was when I first

7:04

started . When I first started my business

7:06

, i was working more on the back ends

7:08

of my business , more as like an operations

7:10

manager . Right , managing the back end

7:12

pieces And quickly realizing

7:15

that these clients needed

7:17

a system in order to sustain the business

7:19

. Right , because you know , we've got Google

7:21

Docs here at Google Sheets , we've got notes in

7:23

this thing and that thing , and you know it's kind of

7:25

spread out all over the place . And so

7:27

, quickly realizing that we needed

7:29

some structure in the business , i went

7:31

and did some research , right , so there's a

7:34

slew of project

7:36

management tools you can use . I dabbled in Trello

7:38

, i dabbled in Asana , i dabbled in

7:40

Monday and Basecamp , i dabbled in

7:43

all of these other systems , and

7:45

some of them would work for a while And then I quickly

7:48

realized it has some things

7:50

I like , but I need to do more . Right

7:52

, I need more flexibility , i need more functionality

7:54

here . And so finally I found

7:56

ClickUp . And once

7:59

I did , i literally never turned

8:01

back . It was like this is the tool

8:03

. And once I

8:05

found the tool , i of course started implementing

8:07

it for my clients , building out

8:10

their workspaces and things like that , and

8:12

really learned to just love

8:14

the system and loved how

8:16

I could incorporate my operational

8:19

background into developing systems

8:21

like this . And so it quickly evolved

8:23

from doing some

8:25

buildouts for clients but also offering other

8:27

services to strictly

8:30

offering ClickUp as a service

8:32

right In the form of consulting , in

8:34

the form of doing these very large

8:36

buildouts and now doing things

8:38

like coaching other ClickUp professionals

8:41

right , and so it kind of evolved

8:43

. But that was the pivotal point

8:45

of utilizing these other systems , not

8:48

really liking them , needing to find a better solution and

8:50

then finally finding that solution and ClickUp

8:53

.

8:53

Yeah , I completely agree . I will

8:55

tell you , I dabbled with Trello also . I

8:58

played with Asana for a hot minute , but

9:00

Trello was my main one

9:02

. And I think at one

9:04

point I was working with someone , a freelancer

9:06

, that used ClickUp , so I kind of like

9:09

moved over to that platform

9:11

temporarily until I fully transitioned

9:14

, and I think when I fully transitioned it was

9:16

just a hot mess . So one

9:18

of the things that led me to you was

9:20

looking for experts in ClickUp , not

9:23

necessarily to understand

9:25

usage of the platform , because

9:27

I could learn that on their ClickUp University

9:29

, right . But I think it was more

9:31

so about the use case for our

9:33

business , because I knew how to use it . For my coaching

9:36

business It was okay . I was using it already

9:38

with certain things , but when it came

9:40

to our brick and mortar business

9:42

we have a field service business We wanted

9:44

it to talk to other systems . You

9:46

know we use HubSpot . Hubspot now has

9:48

an integration with ClickUp . We use Bamboo

9:51

HR to manage our workforce and that has

9:53

an integration with Inside of ClickUp . We needed

9:55

something that can really

9:58

help us , kind of like set

10:00

up that back office infrastructure , and

10:02

that's when I found you . So

10:05

I'm sure that you

10:07

hear a lot from clients that

10:10

they're stressed out

10:12

the user-friendliness of ClickUp

10:15

. It's not easy to learn and all these things

10:17

, because that was one of the things that I was telling myself

10:19

until I found you . So

10:22

what would you say is

10:24

the biggest hurdle that you've

10:26

helped your clients overcome to

10:29

be able to manage this platform ?

10:31

Yeah , definitely . So . I mean , many

10:33

clients like yourself find

10:35

that when they find the

10:37

tool right , when they find ClickUp , they love

10:40

the idea as the possibilities right

10:42

, of what the tool can do and how the tool

10:44

will perform . And so once

10:47

they get started inside of the tool and

10:49

start actually messing around with it , it kind of becomes

10:51

a different story because there is

10:53

so much robust functionality of

10:56

the tool right , there are so many features

10:58

that we can turn on and turn off and there is automation

11:00

and there is dashboards and there is templates

11:02

and there is all of these things right , which can

11:04

start to become very , very overwhelming

11:07

. And so when I work with my

11:10

clients , what is really important

11:12

is that we kind of just set the foundation

11:14

. We really have to understand

11:16

the business before we can marry

11:19

it with the tool . And I kind of talk about

11:21

that a lot , where we are marrying your business

11:23

processes with the functionalities

11:25

of the tool , right , because we don't

11:27

want to change your business , we don't want to change the way that

11:29

you function if it's working well , right , we

11:31

want to marry those processes with the tool

11:33

. And so in working

11:35

with my clients , that's a really big thing

11:37

is first understanding how the business

11:39

functions , what your processes look like

11:42

when it comes to client experience , what

11:44

the processes look like when it comes

11:46

to marketing your services . you know what I mean . So

11:48

just really diving into what the processes look like and

11:51

then developing structural

11:53

higher key inside of the system . And

11:56

if you know about ClickUp or have heard people talk

11:58

about ClickUp , we talk about the hierarchy

12:00

a lot inside of the tool And

12:02

that basically just means how you organize yourself

12:04

right , your spaces , your folders

12:07

, your lists , and so really teaching the

12:09

fundamentals to my clients

12:12

is a really big piece of them then

12:14

understanding the

12:16

broader aspects of the tool and

12:18

how to apply those things to the business

12:20

. So it's the processes and then it's

12:22

really understanding just the foundational things

12:24

of the tool .

12:27

I love that . So would you say

12:29

that the traditional

12:32

business owner , whether it's an online space

12:34

or brick and mortar , doesn't matter ? Would

12:36

you say that every business

12:38

should have a

12:40

project management tool ? It doesn't have to

12:42

be ClickUp right , But they should have a project

12:44

management tool .

12:46

A thousand percent , yes , they need

12:48

something to really keep all

12:50

of the pieces of the business in one place

12:52

, right , because things

12:54

get lost . You forget things . You

12:56

have team members who you want to communicate with

12:58

and you're sending messages in Slack or

13:00

you're sending it via email . The communication

13:03

can get lost very easily , especially when you're

13:05

working with multiple people inside of a business

13:07

. But even if you're a solopreneur , you

13:10

need ways of keeping track of your projects . You don't

13:12

want client tasks to fall through the cracks , right

13:14

? You don't want to lose leads . You don't want

13:16

to not manage

13:19

your email campaigns in the right way , right

13:21

, whatever that looks like for you . So , absolutely

13:24

, no matter what the tool is , you need a tool

13:26

.

13:26

Awesome . So

13:29

I'm going to ask you a couple of questions

13:32

. I just need you to tell me if it can be

13:34

done in ClickUp . Okay SOPs

13:37

.

13:38

Oh hell , yeah , Absolutely Right

13:40

. Yes , so you need to create

13:42

a SOP database inside of your workspace

13:45

so that you don't have to go looking

13:47

for the document somewhere

13:49

else , so that you have an actual

13:51

documented process that you can connect to

13:53

a task , right ? So if you , let's

13:55

say , you bring in a social media manager

13:58

to help you manage your Instagram posts , they

14:00

know exactly how to do it from start to finish , with

14:02

this SOP that is connected to their tasks

14:04

or inside of a database in some way inside

14:07

of the tool about

14:09

.

14:09

You already hit it , but marketing .

14:13

Yes , absolutely . You wanna manage

14:15

the creation process there right , from taking

14:18

that idea , that post idea from

14:20

start to finish or a real from start

14:22

to finish right , and so being

14:24

able to manage those things , your marketing through

14:26

workflows , tracking , dates

14:28

, tracking , assignees , tracking , kind of where it's on

14:31

the process . It absolutely can do that . Goal

14:34

setting Yes , there's

14:36

actually a goal setting feature inside of ClickUp

14:39

And so you're able to manage your goals in there

14:41

utilizing that feature . But then there's also

14:43

other creative ways that you can utilize

14:45

the tool to manage your

14:47

goals , your KPIs , all of that sort of stuff .

14:50

Awesome , awesome . I mean the

14:52

list can keep going right . But when you think about

14:54

, even when I think about the

14:56

way I use my ClickUp on one

14:59

business and the other , i mean there's my

15:01

marketing , there's my headquarters , information

15:03

of how I manage my business , there's my speaking

15:05

engagement , there's my podcast . I was

15:07

so proud of myself when

15:10

I reached out to the Jenna Paolo

15:12

to let me know hey , do you want to be on my podcast

15:14

so you could test my workflow while you're at it , and

15:16

it was so cool to be able to kind of see

15:18

the things .

15:21

So that was all .

15:21

by the way , I learned all of that through

15:24

Jenna , So I thought that was awesome

15:26

. How about personal ?

15:27

things ? Yeah , you definitely

15:29

can , and so I know a lot of people

15:31

that I've worked with . They have a personal

15:33

space inside of their bigger

15:35

ClickUp workspace right , just to help

15:38

them manage those day-to-day things

15:40

groceries , or to

15:42

do things for the kids . Whatever

15:44

that looks like in your personal life . You can absolutely

15:46

manage those things . They actually just created

15:48

something really robust for myself and my

15:50

husband . I'm like you're going to utilize ClickUp

15:53

. We're going to manage all of the household things inside

15:56

of ClickUp , and it's been great .

15:58

That's awesome . that's awesome . I did see a

16:00

couple of weeks ago , you posted something on

16:02

your stories I think it was an Instagram

16:05

on how you guys delegate some

16:07

of your household tasks , so I thought that was

16:09

really neat . Haven't been able to get Alex there

16:11

yet . Maybe one day , but

16:14

I haven't been able to get him there yet . So

16:16

, jenna , tell me now , on the other

16:18

side of systems and operations and all

16:20

these things aside from your

16:23

brain which I'm thinking is similar

16:25

to mine , where I'm always thinking systems , processes

16:28

, goals . I need to plan , i need to know things in advance

16:30

, how do you keep

16:32

yourself motivated

16:34

when things don't go your way ?

16:37

How do I keep myself motivated ? That's

16:40

a really great question . I think that

16:43

a lot of it kind of comes from

16:45

knowing that it's worked before

16:47

right , because I've

16:50

gone through waves each business goes through

16:52

waves right , where some months are really

16:55

great and then you kind of fall off a little

16:57

bit and go back up right . So keeping

16:59

yourself motivated is really important And

17:01

I think the best way that I do that , just

17:03

personally , is knowing that I have

17:05

proven strategies that

17:07

have worked and that I

17:09

can always go back to those strategies right

17:11

, because if I'm trying something new and

17:14

maybe I'm offering a new service , whatever

17:16

it may be , maybe I'm trying a

17:18

new way of marketing myself utilizing

17:20

LinkedIn , let's say , which I don't do , right

17:23

, maybe I wanted to go and try that . I

17:25

know that , although I can venture off and

17:27

try these new things , that I

17:29

have kind of a home base of what I know

17:31

works well for myself and for my business

17:33

, and so just giving myself

17:35

the flexibility to try new

17:38

things but also

17:40

continue to utilize those proven

17:42

strategies if I need to .

17:44

Love that , love that . Can you speak

17:47

to the importance of being

17:50

able to kind of disconnect yourself from

17:52

the day to day to be able

17:54

to just maximize your energy

17:57

?

17:58

Yes , yes , for sure , because I've been on

18:00

both sides , right , i've been on the side where

18:02

business consumed me and

18:05

I Want , first

18:08

of all , i love doing what I do , so I always wanted

18:10

to be doing it right and I wanted to

18:12

be , you know , utilizing new things and trying

18:14

new things and all of this stuff . And so at

18:16

one point in my business I was basically

18:19

consumed with that and I would work really late hours

18:22

and you know I would stay up all

18:24

hours at the night , wake up early to record

18:26

and like do all of these things right and

18:29

That's a quick way to burn out right

18:31

, that is a quick , very quick and easy way

18:33

to burn out . And so once I realized

18:35

like I need to like take a step back right

18:38

, like let's take a step back , let's prioritize

18:40

. How can I better serve

18:42

my clients ? How can I better serve myself

18:45

without having to Like

18:48

kill myself by working all of these hours and

18:50

trying to do all of the things right

18:52

? and so one of the

18:55

ways of doing that was really

18:57

kind of looking at My

18:59

ideal day and my ideal schedule

19:01

and what I wanted that to look like . Right , because

19:03

I want to have time To spend with my son

19:06

. I want to have time to spend with my husband

19:08

and do fun things and , again

19:10

, i didn't leave a nine to five

19:13

to work those types of hours . I wanted

19:15

flexibility in my day right

19:17

, where if I wanted to go to the park at nine

19:19

in the morning , i could go to park at nine in the morning

19:21

, right . And so really the

19:23

first step for me was kind of looking at my schedule

19:26

on my ideal day , like what did I want that

19:28

to look like ? how many calls did I want to take

19:30

every day ? where there days I didn't want to take

19:32

calls , right ? So kind of looking

19:34

at that and then kind of puzzle , piecing it

19:36

together , right , and really creating

19:39

the ideal day , the ideal week , the ideal

19:41

month . What does that look like and what do I need

19:43

to do ? What action do I need

19:45

to take in order to hit my goals

19:47

right ? what are the actual things

19:49

that That are gonna make me

19:51

money that I need to prioritize over

19:53

things that might not bring

19:56

in any money right Or serve my clients

19:58

in any way ? so that

20:00

was kind of how I approached it .

20:03

Awesome , awesome and and you are

20:05

. You seem to be somewhat

20:07

of a nature girl , right , so

20:09

so you like the outdoors , so

20:11

is there something specifically

20:13

that you love to do when you're , when people

20:16

can't find you , behind a click of dashboard

20:18

?

20:19

Yeah , for sure . We're always out camping and

20:22

in the wilderness like not . We're not really

20:24

like Campground kind

20:26

of people or people that take our off-roading

20:29

Jeep and off-road into the mountains

20:31

and Literally have no service

20:33

. So that's what . That's where you'd find me .

20:36

Yeah , that's kind of terrifying .

20:37

You won't find me there but that's awesome , awesome

20:41

, i love that .

20:42

So now I want to spotlight a little

20:44

bit about you and how you

20:46

can support Your clients . So

20:49

for the woman that's just starting

20:51

out and obviously there's some guys out there

20:53

So if there's a guy listening to the podcast

20:55

, kudos to you . But but

20:57

say there's someone out there that's starting

20:59

a business and They

21:01

don't you know project management

21:03

or this type of platform . It

21:05

didn't even cross their mind . Is

21:08

this something that you can recommend from

21:10

the startup ?

21:13

What I would first recommend if you're starting to look

21:15

for a project management tool for

21:18

you that works specifically for you . You

21:23

want to be able to go into the tool and utilize

21:25

it just functionally

21:28

, just very basic . Be able to

21:30

create a task , set a due

21:32

date , assign it to yourself . You

21:34

want to be able to do those easy , functional

21:36

things . When

21:38

you're thinking about utilizing

21:41

any kind of tool , the

21:43

easier and most simple it is the better , because

21:45

you're more likely to use it . If

21:48

you start to dabble and click up

21:51

and find that click up

21:53

has the simple functionalities

21:55

that you can follow and you're comfortable with that

21:57

, click up is going to be the one that's going to grow with

21:59

your business . You want something

22:01

that's going to grow . If you go into Trello

22:04

but you plan on being a million

22:06

dollar company in 10 years , that's

22:08

not the tool for you . Really

22:11

thinking about long-term when you're thinking

22:13

about a project management system , but

22:16

being able to just utilize

22:18

it in its most foundational

22:20

way so that you get comfortable . You

22:23

don't want to dive in and

22:25

start trying to utilize all

22:27

of these more advanced features . You want you to

22:29

ease in slowly .

22:33

I love that . Personally , i wish I would

22:35

have started from day one , but

22:38

also knowing where I was

22:40

mindset-wise from day one probably

22:42

would not have been the right time . I

22:44

love that you're sharing that , jenna

22:46

. how do you help businesses identify

22:49

areas of inefficiency

22:51

rather and areas of opportunity in

22:54

their operations ?

22:56

Yeah , typically what that looks like

22:58

is we hop onto a call

23:00

and I really dive into your

23:03

business , whether you're already utilizing

23:05

a project management tool or not . I

23:07

want to see the inside of your business and I want

23:09

to pick your brain . I want to pull things out

23:12

of your brain that maybe you didn't even think were

23:14

important or didn't even know you had a process

23:16

for . This

23:20

is really high-level auditing and consulting

23:23

for creating a plan , because

23:26

I need to first understand how your business

23:28

works , what your business is , in

23:30

order to give you suggestions on how to build

23:32

out a tool that's going to support you . That's

23:35

always the best . First step is really

23:37

doing an audit type consultation

23:40

. We can understand the business

23:42

and then give you the action

23:44

items on how you can start to

23:46

apply a tool like ClickUp .

23:49

Awesome . How can someone

23:51

work with you ? What are your current offerings

23:54

?

23:55

Yeah , i have a handful of offerings . One

23:57

is a consulting hour . You

23:59

can purchase consulting hours

24:01

just one off , or in bulk Again

24:04

. This is where I would come into your system

24:06

, audit your system , do that kind

24:08

of stuff . But if you've already been utilizing

24:10

ClickUp , let's say , and you're wanting to continue

24:13

to improve it , you utilize a

24:15

session for that type of thing as well

24:17

. Then I also do larger buildouts . Let's

24:21

say that you're the person who knows you

24:23

need a project management tool , but just

24:25

either don't have the time or don't have

24:28

the capacity or the knowledge to

24:30

build it out yourself and you want an expert

24:32

doing that for you . That's

24:34

always an option as well . This is more like a partnership

24:36

. We're really partnering together to create

24:39

a system that works for you . It's very customized

24:41

. Then , if you are a ClickUp professional

24:44

, i also offer coaching and

24:46

mentorship programs for those types

24:48

of entrepreneurs as well . Then

24:51

I have a course , which you are a part

24:53

of , level up with ClickUp , which teaches

24:55

you how to build it from

24:57

start to finish .

24:59

I love this course . I mean it was so good

25:02

and you can tell that you have a background in education

25:04

Because it

25:06

was so good that I don't think there's

25:08

any reason why anybody would take this

25:10

course and say I just didn't get it , i just

25:12

didn't know how to use it . Because you're so

25:14

patient and you're so thorough in

25:16

your explanations and even

25:18

in the visuals , and being able to build it

25:21

exactly the way you have it , it was

25:23

just an incredible process . I really loved it

25:25

. I still refer to it .

25:26

I love hearing that Great

25:28

. I love that With ClickUp

25:31

3.0 coming out , there will be some

25:33

updates to level up eventually

25:35

. I just got access to 3.0 , which is very

25:37

exciting . I love that .

25:40

You know that's funny . It didn't even cross my mind

25:42

, but , yes , i love that . That's so exciting , awesome

25:45

. Yeah , they did a massive update

25:48

and I'm hearing great things about it , so definitely

25:51

for those that are listening and that are looking

25:53

for a platform that can grow with them . Zero

25:55

regrets We will never leave ClickUp

25:57

. I mean ClickUp better . Never

25:59

leave us either , right .

26:01

Yeah , I don't think they plan to .

26:03

That's a great platform And it's

26:05

just really helped us in scaling our business

26:07

, growing our business and just keeping things organized

26:09

. I think the most important thing has been team communication

26:11

, too to be able to communicate

26:14

with our team and see where certain tasks are

26:16

and what's pending and whatnot . So that's been really

26:18

great . So , jenna , how

26:20

can people find you .

26:22

Yeah , so if you are interested

26:24

in learning more about ClickUp , you

26:27

can join me inside of my Facebook group

26:29

26:31

26:35

26:37

26:40

26:42

27:00

we wrap up our episode here

27:02

today , tell me how

27:05

do you maximize your day ?

27:08

Yeah , love that . So I maximize

27:11

my day by doing a few

27:13

things . First , i utilize

27:15

ClickUp to prioritize my tasks , and

27:18

the second thing I do is I

27:21

ensure that my day is structured the way that

27:23

it's going to be most productive for

27:25

me . So I would say

27:27

that I'm not super , super productive

27:30

early in the morning I'm more of a night person

27:32

or later in the afternoon . So

27:34

all of my priorities and tasks

27:36

that might be more

27:39

difficult or more challenging , i

27:41

utilize the time where I'm most focused

27:43

to accomplish those things . So the morning's

27:46

not for me , but later in the day is , and

27:48

so that's kind of how I prioritize

27:50

and maximize my day .

27:52

Awesome , awesome . I love that . Well

27:54

27:57
