10 Systems Every Creative Business Needs | Ep 154

from Chief Creative Podcast Hosted by Dustin Pead

Your future self is forgetful. And if you're not accounting for that in the way you manage your work, it's costing you more than you think. The average creative professional wastes 23 minutes every single time they context switch from one task to the next — just figuring out where they left off. Six tasks a day. Over an hour gone. At $75 an hour, that adds up to roughly $15,000 a year in lost productivity. In Episode 154, Dustin Pead breaks down the Future You Framework — a simple, three-part note-taking method that solves this in 20 seconds per task. You'll learn the What, Why, and Where structure that makes every task handoff seamless, whether you're picking up where you left off or passing work to your team. This is Chapter 3 of the live book series: Creative Work: 10 Systems Every Creative Business Needs.
