219. 7 Tips & Tools That Help Me As A CEO with ADHD

This week’s episode of Inbox Bestie is actually a listener’s question submitted through a Q&A on my Instagram Stories.
Tips for being an how to I held being a business owner and entrepreneur with ADHD
1. Use Notion.so to write out/outline all your free & paid content - you can easy reorder things
2. Write THEN reorder your to-do list.
     Start with the quickest and fast thing. Breakdown big things to smaller parts          underneath it. Like:
Write Sales Page
FAQ
Deliverables
Intro
I use the regular Notes App (on my Ipad & Apple Pencil) and use the lasso feature to reorder but you could write ____ instead of number when writing out your list then ASSIGN it a number after.
3. Have people days is the best tip I have (Nothing is worst for productivity then having 1pm or 2pm appointments)*
4. Try Mini-Batching (Can you film just 2 reels, write 2 emails, come up with just two blog post ideas?)
5. Host/Go to co-working sessions (it’s body doubling)
6. Set timers (but not ones with seconds - I use this free chrome extension)
7. Hirer a finisher - This can be a ONE OFF hire on like upwork or Fivver so you don’t have to worry about the full hiring and interview process or see if service provider you like offers VIP days.
Bonus: Find a simple project management tool (I’d avoid Clickup)
Bonus Bonus Tip (Not in a show) - Sometimes you just need to hire a coach to keep you in line.

Elisabeth and Cami met in a stationery Facebook group in the fall of 2016. They bonded over the fact they had both gone full-time on the same day just a few weeks earlier, Sept. 16th! After building their friendship long-distance via text, DM, and facetime, they decided to meet in person in Savannah to celebrate their 1st business anniversaries in 2017. During this trip, they hosted their first "Biz Birthday Bash" in the form of a free webinar. More than 500 people signed up to attend! That weekend Biz Birthday Bash was born (yes, the name stuck) and since then Cami & Elisabeth have offered creative paper people resources that help make biz strategy a piece of cake. They are the creators & hosts of The Stationer's Summit and the A-Z Directory Membership.
