How do you manage to keep track of all the things you want to improve about your business? Is it just in your head or do you have a complex system? How many things do you manage week to week (Google Sheets, notes, etc.)?

Managing everything can get chaotic. I don’t have a fancy CRM; I’m pretty disorganized. My Google Drive is filled with countless files with little naming conventions. I’m good at taking ideas from conception to a minimum viable product quickly, but after that it often becomes a mess. For example, a couple of hours ago I responded to 92 DMs for Maker School without any system—I just opened the DMs tab and worked through them top‑to‑bottom, which I do every few days. Most people at my level would have a proper CRM, support tickets, a refund person, etc., but I don’t. Realistically I probably have around 50 Google Sheets and 100 notes. To keep track, I use a note‑taking app called Godspeed. I write a line like “respond to school DMs,” and it creates a giant to‑do list that I see each morning. You can use any tool you like—Apple Notes, Google Docs, etc.

How do you manage your tasks, projects, and ideas? Do you use an AI layer or a system to centralize new contacts?

I use a mix of tools. While many people rely on Apple Notes, I’ve found that the truly powerful setups involve Readwise, Obsidian, Notion, Anki, Quizlet, Adobe Acrobat, and Google Drive for knowledge management. For task and project tracking I use Linear, which feels like a super‑charged version of Apple Notes with AI tagging capabilities. The point is you can use whatever works for you – the system is less important than consistently capturing and organizing information.

I think you do a lot of tracking and logging like your end learnings in a sheet or another video. I'd be really interested in hearing more about that.

Sure. I use a deliverable tracker. I haven't used this personally, but here's how it works: each hour I note what I accomplished—e.g., created a hiring pipeline, updated a content calendar, added templates, etc. I let AI itemize it into a big sheet. The tracker lists all expenses and tasks, so I can quickly see what I did in the first hour, second hour, and so on. It serves as an accountability metric and I share it with others for transparency.

What software do you use to keep everything organized?

I use a platform called Godspeed as a simple to‑do list and project manager, and ClickUp for agency work. I try to keep the number of platforms low to reduce complexity and avoid getting screwed over by too many tools.

Can you share tips for effective to‑do list management, hockey‑related productivity, and automating the opening of multiple browser tabs for job applications (e.g., via Chrome settings)?

To automate opening multiple browser tabs for job applications, use Chrome’s startup settings: go to Settings → On startup → Open a specific page or set of pages, and add the URLs you need (Creator Studio, deliverable tracker, daily updates, playground, workflow automation). One click then opens all of them. For task management, adopt a simple GTD‑style system: keep an inbox where you dump everything, then process it. If an item is actionable, do it right away (following the two‑minute rule); if not, move it to a ‘next actions’ list. Review your inbox regularly—every few hours—to keep it empty. Prioritize constantly; even if you’re not naturally good at it, the habit of reviewing and acting on items keeps you productive. You can also use reminders for ideas, but building a personal SOP (like a morning inbox sweep) works better than relying on automated reminders.
