Hello, everybody, welcome Hey, how are you all doing a Happy Tuesday to everybody. And now that these strange soliloquy is from a very secluded soapbox, are becoming more regular and more, you know, organized, they, I’m slow at it, but I’m getting getting more organized. We have our editorial calendar up and our whole process going and the team is pushing things out like madman. I just want to let you guys know that there is a structure now sort of to how I’m doing these and Tuesdays are tool Tuesdays.
So today, we’re going to talk about the tool we’re going to talk about, you know, it’s probably not going to be a very long live cast, but I want to talk to you about just getting stuff done. Okay, because as entrepreneurs, that is pretty much one of our major objectives is we just get stuff done. We make sure our team gets stuff done. And some of you are probably super organized and super meticulous and detail oriented and structured. For those of you that are that way I take off my hat, I salute you, you are amazing. I’m not that way. Okay, but let me confess something to you and I said it earlier in the email I sent out, I am an addict. I am a I am a junkie for systems and tools and programs and online, everything. Okay, and I test and I try and I started up and I get things going and I flake out and they get lost, okay, and that’s my normal way of kind of doing things. And one of the benefits of that is I see lots and lots of tools. And I get to I play with them and I play with him in a real world environment and I see if you know if I can actually get the results from them and And one of the results is that my team hates me. No, they don’t hate me, I’m okay. I’m a nice guy. But they get they get frustrated because I changed things a lot. And we’re always trying stuff out. And, you know, whenever they see me coming with that look on my face, they say, Oh, no, no, not another tool, not another something we’re going to do.
So today’s tool is something I want to share with you because it just has helped me and I haven’t forced it onto the team. Like I had mentioned the other day we use in kit for our project management, our editorial calendars, our CRM, everything, we you know, kind of the corporate, you know, database where we keep stuff going, but I don’t use them for my own personal productivity. It’s just, it’s too big, it’s too it’s not in I would have to spend a whole lot of effort to get things set up and then I wouldn’t use it well. So I have tried just about every everything out there probably and most of the time I end up back with my notebook and pen and paper. Okay, I’ll confess that to you. However, for the last few months, I have actually found something that works for me at least. And so today I’m going to share that with you. Because if you’re an entrepreneur, you know a lot of what you you know, of your company’s good practices depend on whether you get your stuff done. And there’s so many hats to be worn. And there’s so much going on. And you have so many different drains on your time that it’s very easy to fall into the trap of just doing the last thing somebody asked you to do. And that takes your eye off of what you really should be doing.
And so the tool I’m going to share with you today is called weak player. And here we go. Here’s I’m going to share this here week plan. I think this is a Yeah, I’m actually Sure where the team is that built this and I haven’t even reached out to them anything they don’t even know I’m talking about their tool today, I’ll send them a link and hopefully the like this video, but we plan is, is all about getting the right things done as quickly and as efficiently as possible. So when I say that it’s not just a task list, okay, because to do lists. Yeah, I mean, that’s a part of what you need to get things done. But the problem with a to do list or a list is that it it’s, you end up just doing what’s at the top instead of necessarily what you need to be doing. And broader goals get pushed away and they get, they fall through the cracks. So just kind of walk you through here just a little bit through their website, and then I’ll show you briefly mine. I’m not going to show you very much because it’s not as organized as I would like for everybody to think that I have it Although it works for me so it this first of all work life balance because you can put everything into week plan, okay you can have you know, it has a cool thing that you can assign yourself different roles when we were talking about different hats where you can create roles inside week plan and then you can assign objectives and you know, goals and tasks to those roles.
And then what you can do is you get clarity on on what the big picture is because you can look at them across the different goals and you can make sure that you’re actually putting an effort towards the, the the objectives and the tasks that you want to reach in, you know, on a longer term basis. Okay, so obviously focus on importance versus urgency, okay. And both are important and sometimes things are urgent and sometimes things are important and you need to You know, that’s the famous quiet, you know, quadrant there and you try to work on the the both the urgent dandy and the important. One of the key things, though about week plan is that you actually block out time on your calendar for specific tasks. It integrates with Google Calendar and with other calendars, and you could you actually say, I’m going to be doing this at this time. Okay. And that blocks out that count that space on your calendar, and nothing else would get in there. So if you’re taking, you know, meeting requests or whatever, they won’t go in there, which is really, which is really cool. Because it’s not just something at the end of the day is a list of stuff that you should have gotten done. know it’s there from 11 to 1130.
You should be doing this. Now, does that mean you’re going to actually do it at 11 to 1130? Maybe, maybe not. If you’re really one of those organized, meticulous people like I was saluting earlier you will but it does help. Okay, and And then it also gives you this weekly vision so you’re actually seeing across the week on your calendar and your your appointments are showing up in there as well everything you have on your calendars also showing up in there. So you get an idea of what days are going to be busy, you know, where, you know, where you have some extra time, stuff like that. Yeah, here so you know, basically, you know, you’ve got calendar integration, you’ve got the app for your phone, you’ve got recurring tasks. This is awesome. I use this a lot. For example, I set up these live streams as a recurring task on week plan that goes into my calendar. I know you know, and then you can do things like okay, I have a recurring tasks that I need to get every weekend, I’d make sure that I have the next week’s content sort of mapped out actually, I’m actually a week ahead so not necessarily with all the details, but at least the plan. So recurring tasks Really cool. And then you does have team features. I don’t use those because we use it get, but you can. And yeah, it’s pretty, pretty awesome.
Okay, so let me come back here and just just to give you an idea, you know what you’re talking about, just so you understand this isn’t like a big investment for your for for for you or your company. I mean, we’re talking here a yearly plan is 78 bucks right now for a user. Okay, that’s actually that’s cheaper than what I paid for it. But you know, because they’ve even got a great special going on right now. So I totally recommend that you check them out. I mean, it’s, it’s a no brainer, 80 bucks a year if it gets you back on track, and it keeps you up to date. It’s really effective. You know, I could come in here and show you just a bit about my schedule and stuff. I’m gonna do this just kind of just just walk you through you know, you see your week here you can see you know, objective As you can see, you know, vision of where you’re going, and you can set up a lot of you know, you can, there’s a lot going on in here. I really don’t want to get into the details on mine right now. But what I will say is that they have a really cool function called the weekly plan a plan a week, it’s like a weekly review. And it walks you through your objectives and your goals and your tasks, and you just put them onto your calendar for the next week.
So that now you know, and it just doing that once a week really kind of gives you the focus and it gives you a vision of where you’re going. And it keeps those important tasks on top of your head. So you know, you actually you know, you they don’t they don’t get forgotten that you know, you’re actually blocking out some time and you can say how much time you want for each one of those and, and it makes the process it’s simple. I’ll confess it took me maybe a week or so to kind of figure out how the because it has a lot of screens and there’s a lot of you know, it does have a lot of functionality. You don’t have to use it all. But once you make that first get over that first week, it’s pretty intuitive and it’s, it’s a really good system. So today’s secret weapon for all you entrepreneurs crypto printers out there is weak plan. You go to weak plan dotnet you can get it there. And I I recommend it. It’s a great little system and then install it on your phone and you’ll be ready to go. With that. I’m going to do there’s been a couple days I haven’t done it. So I’m going to do a shameless plug for my book, Behold the crypto printers.
