The Power of SYSTEMS Thinking 💭

I was on a clarity call today with

and he mentioned how one of the things he needs in his life right now is better systems.

For us ADHD Skool owners, we deal with the constant bombardment of dopamine from dealing with Skool notifications all day long. It's really exciting!!

...and it's also a good way to burn out.

Back in October of last year, I spent 12 hours a day, 7 days a week on Skool to help us get the ⭐

No, I'm not joking or exaggerating.

It was NOT sustainable. And it was certainly not efficient or systematized. I was just constantly on my phone writing comments, joining communities, sending DMs... trying a little bit of everything.

If you throw the pot at the wall, hopefully something sticks!

Now, after a year growing this Skool community, I've learned the errors of my ways.

Or rather, I've learned how to systematize my work here so I know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how long to spend on it.

This has almost immediately resulted in:

✅ More sales

✅ Better conversations

✅ Better relationships

✅ More members

✅ And best of all - more peace of mind

...all while cutting my time spent on Skool by about 80%.

The trick?

Systems.

I now follow a very specific checklist, understand which notifications to ignore and which are important, and have completely stopped letting myself runaway on Skool notification dopamine land.

(Most of the time, anyway. I'm still an ADHD entrepreneur 😅😆)

I find that often it's the things that we generally know are good to do (outreach, creating content, taking calls), but we don't have an exact process for how we go about doing them or how we track it.

Systems and tracking change the game. And PHEW am I less stressed now! 😮‍💨

So now I'm curious...

What do YOU spend way too much time on because there’s no system? 👀

📱 Skool notifications / DMs (send help, I live here)

🧠 Overthinking my next move instead of making it

✍️ Creating content… kinda… eventually…

💬 “Just one more conversation” that turns into 2 hours

📊 Tracking nothing and hoping for the best

🧩 Trying new tools instead of mastering one

🔥 All of the above, I’m an ADHD legend
