I don't know about you but doing admin for my biz is the least fun thing to do.
I am planning to move platforms - from Shopify to Squarespace - for my coaching products and moving 70+ products and this idea is triggering a thousand versions of overwhelm. 😅
So I forced myself to make this whole admin thing intentional a few days ago.
Let me share 3 tips I've discovered to make your admin more intentional and less of a bore:
1. Avoid the autopilot. I know it's faster to just hurriedly copy and paste text from one place to another without thinking but it can make you feel worse afterwards. So, I deliberately slowed myself down to be present and hyper aware of what text/links/images I am copying from Shopify to Squarespace.
2. If switching on a podcast, a tv show, a Youtube video or upbeat music helps keep your mood up as you work on your admin, do that! If you are in danger of falling asleep as you are doing your repetitive admin work, this helps a little. 😄
3. Have a very,very clear end goal for your admin work. You may have to remind yourself many times of this clear end goal especially if your biz admin stretches for days or even weeks. If not, you may just give up half-way and stick to the current unhelpful platform you are using 😆
