Hi Olivia, I loved your class in the AI-Driven Business Summit. I have lots I want to implement from what you presented. I'm curious about your email process. You mentioned you have Flodesk. That's what I've been using and it makes beautiful emails. What I'm looking for now is speed. I've heard that Kit can be especially great to design the emails fully in HTML in Claude, and to even connect to Claude Co-work with an MCP (I'm not there yet). Have you found some super quick workflow hacks for working with Flodesk to make sending emails very streamlined? I'm still in Flodesk for myself, though I'm thinking about moving to Kit. And I'm getting a client set up in Kit to try to make her email process very quick and easy and integrated fully with AI. Curious to know how your email workflow goes. I'm not a great designer, and I think I'm done with the drag and drop, block building stuff. Even though it's been nice till now. That style slows me down from doing email as regularly as I like. Happy to hear from others as well.

It's time for some group improvements! (Because it's all about getting something out there for people and then iterating and improving on it from there, right? 😁) I have a super exciting addition coming to Premium that I'll be sharing soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to get your feedback on an idea I've been noodling on. One of the #1 hurdles people say they face is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻.... 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱.... 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀. (Sound familiar? 😜) So I was playing around with the idea of hosting a monthly focus huddle within this group. - if you want some extra accountability for the month, you commit to the huddle for the month - You set your goal(s) for the month, I'll give you a framework + tools needed and help you reverse-engineer them into a clear action plan - We do some async checkins throughout the month to track progress - At the end of the month, we'll have a little virtual coffee chat celebration where you can show off what you accomplished - Then then next month, you can either join that new huddle or pass if you're good for the month I'm thinking it would be free to start so we could play around and see if it feels good before I do anything else with it. Does this sound like something helpful to you? It's ok if not! The goal is help you check some things OFF of your list, not add more to it. Open to any ideas!

Now I mostly rely on a small stack: chatgpt.com — getting rough ideas into usable drafts faster canva.com — creating content without starting from zero calendly.com — removing the scheduling back-and-forth floment.ai — keeping projects and to-dos somewhere I can immediately see what actually needs doing next The biggest change wasn’t becoming more productive. It was removing enough friction that a random 45-minute window could actually be useful. For anyone building around a job, kids, or life in general, what’s helped you make the most of the small pockets of time?

What system works best for your brain? OR are you still trying to find a system that you can stick to that works for your brain? 😅

One thing I keep noticing with business advice: a lot of it assumes you have an entire day to execute. But if you're balancing clients, family, caregiving, or a full-time job, the problem usually isn't motivation. It’s having a system that helps you make progress in the small pockets of time you actually have. My current approach is to keep the stack as simple as possible: - ChatGPT — turning rough ideas into clearer plans and getting unstuck faster - Canva — creating client-facing content without spending forever on design - Notion — keeping notes, resources, and business information organized - Floment — keeping projects, daily tasks, progress updates, and community activity closer together instead of scattering everything across different apps The biggest shift for me has been thinking less about “How much can I get done today?” and more about “What’s the most useful thing I can finish with the time I actually have?” That feels a lot more sustainable than trying to copy someone's 12-hour-a-day business routine. For those building a business around real-life responsibilities, what tools or systems have actually made your limited time easier to manage?
