Online Tools to Jumpstart Productivity in 2024

Published 4 months ago • 3 min read

Hi Reader!

I hope you’ve had a wonderful start to 2024! It’s been a while since I’ve sent out my monthly newsletter. If you’re new, a quick introduction:

At the end of the month I send out a newsletter that includes marketing and tech tips that help you run your practice or clinic. I cover things like SEO, branding, productivity and more. If there’s a topic you’d like to learn more about, reply to this email and I’ll work to include it in a future newsletter!

Today is my birthday! 🎉

I didn’t plan on sending out this newsletter on my birthday when I said I’d send my newsletters out on the “last Thursday of each month” but here we are! Serendipity or coincidence? I’m not sure, but I do know that the time between Christmas and my birthday has always been Purging Season. I think the act of packing away decorations from every corner of my home jump starts my motivation to tackle the piles of clothes and toys that I’ve been putting off sorting through.

The same can be said for my business. Over the course of the year, I’ve accumulated a ton of unnecessary tools that ate up my limited work hours. I started the year off by simplifying my daily workflow in order to be more productive. It’s my first act of self-care for the year.

Here are 3 tools I use to simplify my time online:

  • For Limiting Social Media Distractions
    Social media is my main vice. It’s so bad that sometimes I’ll end up on Facebook without even remembering that I typed “facebook.com” into the browser. Newsfeed Eradicator is a Chrome plugin that has saved me so many wasted hours during my work day. It replaces your newsfeed with a motivational quote on several major social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube and more. Seriously a game changer!
  • For Saving Time with Social Media Posts
    With how many social media accounts there are now, I needed a way to post on multiple platforms for my business without the time sink. Metricool has been amazing. With Metricool, I can use the free membership to post my content across multiple platforms with unique captions at the most popular time of day. And if I want to switch to the paid subscription, the rates are pretty competitive.
  • For Writing Summaries
    Writing captions for social media posts and meta descriptions for SEO takes up too much of my time. That’s why I used Chat GPT a lot last year. It’s not a perfect solution because the summaries it provides are only as good as the prompts you give it, but it’s a great starting point! If you want some ideas for prompts, grab a free copy of my Prompt Library! It has prompts for brand voice, social media posts, SEO, and more.

If you want to start the year off with a clear Roadmap for your online marketing and get more in depth on what’s holding your business back in its effectiveness to reach your target market, my C3 Website Review & Roadmap can help you streamline your business practice. We’ll review your first impressions online, content, and compliance with SEO, accessibility, and more.

Once we review everything together, I’ll provide you with a C3 Roadmap that walks you through how to make the changes we talked about and give you tool suggestions as needed. My Roadmap saves you time and frustration, so you can focus on what’s important: your clients.

I only have two spots left at my introductory price of $175!

Hi Reader, I’ve been living a lie for 30+ years. I’ve had this limiting belief that getting in shape, exercising, and being strong was out of reach for me. I know everyone always says how good exercise is for your physical and mental health, but it seemed like such a daunting task and I had every excuse in the book to stop me from getting started. That’s when I discovered ✨Walking✨. I started by tracking how many steps I was averaging every week (which was an embarrassing amount) and started...

Hi Reader, The other day I did something I thought I’d never be caught doing. A few years ago, my husband came up with the “genius” idea to attach a hand mixer whisk to his drill in order to hold a dish sponge and wash the dishes. It eventually morphed into using this modified hand mixer to mix protein powder and hydration drinks. I always thought it was excessive and said I’d never need to use it. Well, I ate my words. The other day I had cream cheese filling that needed to be mixed and I...

Hi Reader, I just got back from a quick trip to New York that coincided with the last day of Lunar New Year. I can’t begin to describe the pure child-like excitement I felt when I heard those familiar drums from the Lion Dances blessing one business to another in Chinatown. Picture of a Lion Dance taken from the internet, since I keep missing their dances in person! I took off running to catch their performance, only to be completely disappointed to find that I had JUST missed their dance! It...
