We have all been there – where we feel like we keep running out of time in the day and wish we had more! I want to share a few time-saving habits to put into place within your wedding business to gain back some sanity and hopefully create a calmer schedule for yourself.

Automations

I know… you have heard this once or twice, and maybe even tried using this feature inside your Honeybook or Dubsado CRM system but can’t seem to get it to work! Or even worse…. have time to even try to figure out how to even structure automations but let me tell you, they are a God send! You can set up certain emails and even files (contracts, invoices, questionnaires etc) to go out automatically while you are out and about. How does that sound?!

Task Management Tools

Your Honeybook or Dubsado both have task management tools within the systems to utilize. I personally an external source called Notion where I have a customized client portal for each of my clients per service they have. This keep me aligned and on track! I have also previously used Trello and Asana. Try some different ones and see which fits your needs most but overall having a task management tool keeps your sh** together, which we all need a little help sometimes!

Calendar Reminders

Our days are BUSY, especially if you are a mama like me! Between juggling client work, behind the scenes business work, home life and keeping a small child from dressing up our dogs… we lose track of time. Having calendar reminders for EVERYTHING has SAVED me. I have a reminder for my morning routine (for myself and my toddler), client work, when to go on a walk/take a break and even for when I need to have time to sit and focus only on my own business. Try it and tell me how it works for you!

Outsource

I will always preach to every wedding business owner that outsourcing is key to saving time and growing all at the same time! Even if you don’t have the budget for on-going support, you can even save up for a one-time system build or a website redesign. Anything you have been dragging your feet on doing…. outsource it! If you would like to learn the process on hiring help, what to look out for, the type of support you can get etc… message me!

Ultimately, there are ways to make your life easier. You just need to sit down and put them into action. We all think we can “do it all” but we shouldn’t and don’t have to. If you need any assistance with a CRM audit, a full Honeybook or Dubsado build, or monthly business management – feel free to reach out!
