🥄 Spoonful of Strategy

A Tiny Taste of Tactical Genius

Welcome to the first-ever edition of Spoonful of Strategy - your monthly bite-sized boost for running a smarter, smoother creative business.

You’ve got enough on your plate. That’s why each month, we’ll dish up just one game-changing idea designed to help you streamline, scale, or shine a little brighter in your creative biz.

But hey, we’re not letting you leave the table without a taste.
Here’s a tiny amuse-bouche of admin-busting goodness to whet your appetite for what’s to come.

This Month’s Spoonful:

Canned Email Templates = Secret Sauce

Tired of writing the same responses over and over?

🥫 Create canned responses for your most common email replies - things like:

• “I’d love to schedule a discovery call…”

• “Here’s my availability for directed sessions…”

• “Attached are the final files…”

💡 How:
If you use Gmail, enable “Templates” in Settings → Advanced → Templates. Draft once, reuse forever.
If you’re on Outlook, use “Quick Parts” or “My Templates.”
You can also stash your go-to replies in a Notion doc, Google Doc, or whatever digital drawer you rummage through the most.

Tiny Tweak, Big Flavor:
Pair those canned emails with an online scheduler (like Calendly or TidyCal), and you've just slashed your admin time dramatically. 

We’d love to know:

What’s one admin task you wish would just… disappear?
Hit reply and tell us 'cuz we might just spoon up a solution in a future edition.

To less stress and more strategy,
