from This Can't Be That Hard · host Annemie Tonken
Tech tools and software are an easy thing to accumulate. Most of us add tools when we find them, promising ourselves we'll dive in "as soon as we have time. Before long, we've got a giant tech stack that just kind of happened.In this episode, I'm talking about the costs of "tech debt" - not just the financial expense, but the minutes, hours, even cumulative days that we all spend on workarounds, redos, and tweaks, all the while thinking, "I'm sure I had a tool that was supposed to do that!"We'll also cover the three layers of your business where tech tends to accumulate, along with a simple, three-question audit to help you see your system clearly.The goal here isn't a perfect stack... it's just an intentional one, where you've got all the tools you need (and none you don't).Resources mentioned: Photographer's Business Dashboard Resources:New to the podcast?
