Discover a simple system to organize your workflow, clear your mental clutter, and finally get things done without the stress.
👉 Emails, messages, and client requests flood in all day. Instead of reacting to them immediately, set two to three inbox review times per day. Use GTD’s two-minute rule—if something takes under two minutes, do it immediately. Otherwise, delegate, defer, or delete.

👇 No Time To Listen? Read The Summary. 👇
It's not magic, but it works like it. This episode dives into the importance of having a system to prevent things from slipping through the cracks—a universal struggle for solopreneurs and beyond.
Carly and Joe introduce Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen, a productivity method that helps streamline tasks, reduce overwhelm, and improve sleep by ensuring nothing gets lost in the chaos of running a one-person business.
The GTD method consists of five key steps:
Capture – Collect everything coming your way (emails, notes, ideas, etc.).
Clarify – Determine if each item is actionable and, if so, what needs to be done.
Organize – Sort tasks into projects, to-do lists, calendars, or reference files.
Reflect – Regularly review your system to keep things up to date.
Engage – Choose the right task based on time, energy, and priority.
The key takeaway is this: having a trusted system will help you stay on top of everything and sleep better at night.

David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) is a powerful system to help solopreneurs stay organized and stress-free. The key? Capture everything, clarify next actions, and organize tasks by context so you always know what to do next.
GTD helps solopreneurs avoid overwhelm, work smarter, and focus on growth—without the chaos.
What is it? A TV show that follows the intertwined lives of affluent visitors and resort employees at White Lotus establishments, exposing their secrets, desires, and hidden dysfunctions.
Why do I like it? It’s this perfect mix of dark comedy, satire, and people behaving so badly that you can’t look away. The writing is razor-sharp, every conversation is dripping with tension and awkwardness which builds to absolute chaos. The show somehow makes paradise feel deeply unsettling (probably thanks to that eerie chanting soundtrack).
Where can I see it? If you haven’t watched it yet, fix that immediately. Season 3 premiered yesterday!
