🎙 If they were giving out awards for procrastination and avoidance of admin tasks, I would win hands down, out of pretty much anybody I know. Whether it's chasing people up, responding to emails, checking my messages, or just basically doing those admin things that just back up and just annoy the hell outta you. That is where I really, really struggle. That was until I did one thing, which I am going to share with you today. Something that has been totally transformative. It's super simple and requires no advanced techniques, apps, or technology. This simple technique will help you, as a business owner, be far more productive. Especially if you're like me and you've either got ADHD, or you just struggle with getting that annoying admin stuff done. This simple framework has totally transformed the way I approach admin. It holds me accountable for doing it, but it is my team that actually makes it happen.  KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡Turn Inbox Avoidance and Guilt into a Daily Win: Assign someone to handle your inbox. Every day, do a  15‑minute comms check‑in with them to cover anything that requires a decision. This quickly stops the constant background stress of ignored emails and messages. 💡Stay Accountable and Productive: Responding to emails, etc., is still ultimately your responsibility. However, someone else can easily respond to the routine things that don´t require a direct decision from you. They can assist with the rest and help keep you accountable. 💡 Build a Unified Inbox System: Combine human review, appropriate AI, a well-trained and fully enabled VA with a short daily meeting, to turn your comms admin into one simple, repeatable process. Use Steve´s free guide to get it done.
