If there's one thing I want you to stop doing as you work on figuring out your backend systems for your business, it's this:

Stop searching for one tool to cover all your client management and collaboration needs.

As a systems expert, I'm here to tell you that "one stop" platforms that claim to do it all are a myth supported by companies' marketing budgets.

The truth is that while there are some great tools out there that will cover a lot of your needs in one platform, finding a tool that completely supports the unique needs of you and your clients is unlikely to happen.

BUT that doesn't mean you should give up on your dream of cohesive backend business systems that make client management and collaboration simple. It means you need to carefully curate your tech stack to create a powerful, effective backend setup.

If you’ve been hearing a lot about Kitchen.co but can’t figure out if it’s right for you, your clients, and your business, then I’ve got 10 reasons why I think you’ll love using it as your client portal and project management hub as a creative solopreneur.

“Big lock-ins” centred around productivity and getting a shit-tonne done aren’t easy for many of us neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill people. They often demand that we hustle hard and push ourselves, ignoring the rest that we need all year round, but especially in the autumn and winter.

But starting this September 1st, I'm going to try my own AuDHD-friendly version for 13 weeks, so that I can learn more about my brain, escape perfectionism paralysis, and refine my tools and methods I use to support my clients.
