A Complete Guide to CoSchedule
I used CoSchedule in Spring of 2015 and I loved it, but at the time, the features were limited. After switching to Squarespace I couldn't use all the features I wanted, so I moved to Buffer. But now, CoSchedule has tools for everyone (Wordpress user or not) and I've been using it NON-STOP.
Here's everything you need to know about CoSchedule before you dive in for yourself.

Bullet journaling has blown up the past few years. If you've never heard of it, you probably aren't a planner person, but you might become one after reading this.

An entire community has blossomed around this idea and today I'm going to walk you through the basics.
3 Tools I Swore By and Why I Stopped Using Them
Buffer, ConvertKit, and Wave Accounting - I use to recommend these to everyone I ran into. But, now I don't use them at all anymore. I still think they are incredible tools and I'd still happily recommend all of them, however, I found tools I like better and work best in my systems.

17 Reasons I Love 17Hats
I've talked about 17Hats a lot lately. I have some vague mentions of it here, here and here. And I have an ecourse about it here. But I've never written a whole guide for you all, so today that's going to change.
17Hats plays a huge role in my small business and I think it's a valuable tool that can be used by any solopreneur to streamline their lead intake and keep projects organized.
A Complete Guide to Evernote
If you've never heard me talk about Evernote, we probably haven't talked much. Evernote is my all time favorite tool for every aspect of my life. I use it for my personal life, this blog, my job, my freelance clients and everything in between. The problem with Evernote is that it can do SO much, it's very easy to get overwhelmed when starting out. My goal is to help you understand Evernote so that you'll use it and love it.
The Complete Guide to the Perfect Workflow
A workflow is a step-by-step list of how to do a task (like writing a blog post). Multiple workflows (like how to write a blog post, how to share those posts on social media for the week and how to check comments) creates a system (like your blogging system). And systems make your life a whole lot easier.
How Planners Changed my Business
First off, I planned this post months ago, before I knew that this week, Asana would unveil their new features and design. Perfect timing, right?
