Get your systems in shape before the holidays!
The holiday season is busy enough without adding business chaos into the mix. Between wrapping up projects, running promotions, and trying to enjoy family time and all the holiday festivities, the last thing you want is tech headaches stealing your attention. The good news? A few small system tweaks can save you hours of frustration and give you more space to actually enjoy the season.
Tip #1: Automate your scheduling
Instead of playing email tag to set up meetings or consultations, use a tool like TidyCal or Calendly. Adding buffers between calls, setting holiday blackout dates, and sending automated reminders cuts down on no-shows and saves you countless back-and-forth emails.
Tip #2: Streamline your communication
If your messages are spread across email, DMs, and texts, now’s the time to centralize. Setting up an email filter, using a project management tool (like Trello or Asana), or even batching your responses during the day can reclaim hours each week.
Tip #3: Prep your promotions in advance
Whether it’s a Black Friday special, holiday bundle, or just your regular newsletter, schedule it ahead. Most platforms (Mailerlite, Mailchimp, Flodesk, etc.) allow you to pre-write and schedule campaigns so they go out automatically–even if you’re at a holiday dinner.
These tweaks don’t require massive overhauls, but together they can make the difference between a frantic December and a smooth one. Start small, and you’ll thank yourself later.
