7 folders that will change your life (seriously💪)


Reader,

Ever feel like your brain is a tangled mess of to-dos, ideas, and half-finished projects?

Yeah, me too. Or at least, I used to…

Until I stumbled upon the SINGLE MOST EFFICIENT thing I’ve ever done for my productivity.

Are you ready for this? 🥁

I created 7 folders and mirrored the seven across my project management tool and Google Drive.

That’s it. That’s the hack.

But oh boy, the results have been MIND-BLOWING!

Here’s what happened:

  1. I can find ANYTHING with a single click
  2. My brain is free from the clutter (hello, mental clarity!)
  3. My productivity? Through. The. Roof.

Want to see what this looks like in action? 😉 Watch this short video to see how I set out my Notion & Google Drive workspace.

Watch on Tella.tv

Here’s how my Notion AND Google Drive are structured:

  1. Admin & Strategy
  2. Client Attracting
  3. Client Serving
  4. Content Creation
  5. Product Development
  6. Learning & Development
  7. Personal

Yep, they’re IDENTICAL. And that’s the magic!

Now, you might be thinking, “But how do I know what goes where?”

Great question! I use this handy guide:

  • Admin & Strategy: finance, operations, maintenance, business planning
  • Client Attracting: brand, website, networking
  • Client Serving: work for clients
  • Content Creation: plan & create public content
  • Product Development: products, services, offers
  • Learning & Development: get smarter
  • Personal: well, you know… the personal stuff!

The benefits? Oh, let me count the ways:

  1. Everything has its place
  2. Zero stress about where to find things
  3. Productivity levels I never thought possible

Listen, I know organizing isn’t exactly the sexiest topic. But trust me, this simple hack has been a total game-changer for my life, my business (and my sanity!).

So, what do you think? Ready to give it a try?

I’d love to hear if you implement this. Hit reply and let me know how it goes!

Here’s to taming the chaos and skyrocketing our productivity!

P.S. I got this tip from a post my connection Cat made on LinkedIn so all kudos goes to her for this.

P.P.S If you found this helpful, why not share it with a friend who could use a productivity boost? Sharing is caring, after all! 😉

Hey Reader, Yesterday I was sitting at my desk checking my LinkedIn engagement data (yes, I'm that person ), and I've discovered something fascinating about what's actually driving leads (not just likes). But first, the biggest realisation of all: Stop writing for everyone. Write for ONE person - the one you really want to work with. Yes, it feels terrifying. Yes, your reach might drop. But when your DM inbox fills with messages from exactly the right people because they self-identified with...

Hey Reader, Quick question: are we all overthinking AI? Last week, I watched a client struggle with their "advanced AI workflow system" (their words, not mine 😅). They had: 36 different prompts in Notion 3 different AI tools running at once A complex "content optimisation" process But you know what? Their best-performing content came from a simple chat with their audience. It got me thinking... Maybe we're making AI way more complicated than it needs to be. (You've seen those "10X YOUR...
