Today, let's chat about a struggle that hits home for a lot of us creatives... We kind of have a bad rep for getting projects across the finish line on time without dropping the ball.
You know the drill – underestimating how long things will take, forgetting those tiny yet crucial details, and then, bam, you've dropped the ball... Again.
Then we get those fun 3 AM panic attacks about that thing you forgot to send off to your client. Yep, been there, done that.
Here's why we kinda suck at this:
Trying to store every single tiny little project detail, deadline, and step in your head is a surefire recipe for disaster. There's just no way for our brains to keep track of this.
It's a common trap, thinking you can wing it because you've done similar projects before.
"I've got this," you say... Until you don't.
But what if you didn't have to rely on your beautiful creative scatterbrain to keep everything straight?
Enter the concept of an "external brain."
This isn't sci-fi; it's about using tools and systems outside your head to keep track of all the moving parts of your projects.
Your "external brain" never forgets, always keeps you on track, and is the difference between a smooth project delivery and a midnight meltdown.
Switching to an "external brain" means you can focus on what you do best – being creative – without the added stress of remembering every little detail.
So, if you're nodding along, thinking, "Yep, that's me," it's time to make a change.
Listen to this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast to dive into the world of project management tools and find your perfect match. Your brain (and your clients) will thank you.
