Organize My Canva week 3 task: Create a Plan. Free/Paid offer - Join the community!

Hello Reader! I made a quick 2 or 3 minute video to help share with you this week's task (and to recap the last two tasks) https://www.loom.com/share/24cdf7f61b0640de9fdd9bc6e32dcdbc?sid=0323cfca-aaa9-4cad-9f2a-3d6f7a3f8cd3 TaskIn August, I'm focusing on helping you organize your Canva files (and this will become a course later on).
Now that it's week 3, we're going to estimate how long it should take. Then we can get down to actually filing our files. As I scroll through my Canva, I have about 150 designs and 30 images, so about 180 items. In the video, I rounded up to 200 but the idea is still the same. How many images do I think I can sort in a sitting and how long will it take me? pssst...Also remember that you don't have to organize every file. If you have really old outdated files you don't want to delete, you can put them in an Archive folder or a Unsorted folder for posterity. Yes, it's ideal to organize every file. But, keeping it real, there's a time/benefit cost ratio. How much is it worth to spend the time organizing? It's worth spending some time now to save yourself time later but only for files you actively work with. There may not be a benefit to organizing files you won't use again. In the video, I said if I organized 20 items in a day, that would take me about 10 days. But maybe I can only sit down for short chunks of time in between other demands on my time. Maybe I can schedule a few hours to dedicate to this project. Also, chunks of the files will go quickly because they're all related and singleton one-off files will take a little longer. As I work, I can keep revising my estimate. But at least now it's a known quantity. That's so much better than this nebulous cloud. I find uncertainty much more overwhelming than even a big number.

Hi Reader, Have you ever felt behind, but then when you check the facts, it's not as bad as you feared? I think sometimes my mind likes to be a bit dramatic. I've been feeling super horrible and guilty about not emailing you since winter. But then I checked my broadcasts: once in January, three times in March (hello if you joined from Adrienne's Go To Summit!), once in April, twice in May. Not the weekly email I'm aiming for, but far from going completely dark. The end of the school year has...
Hi Reader, Something I've been considering lately....If you had to disappear for a week, what would happen to your business? Would everything fall apart? Would your team know what to do? If so, that's not a staffing problem. That's a systems problem. (And most business owners I talk to give some version of that same answer -- even the ones who have been at this for years.) Here's what's actually going on in many businesses, and maybe yours: all the knowledge lives in your head. Where things...
Hi Reader, Can you believe it's already April? I'm so happy spring is here. I started thinking about my Q2 around the Spring Equinox, and now it's already upon us. But here's the thing: four days into a new quarter is not too late to plan it. It's never too late to plan this week, this month, or this quarter, no matter how far in you are. Vision without action is just dreaming. Action without vision is just busy work. You need both. So let's do this together. Step 1: Celebrate your Q1 wins...
