258: To Do—A Small Business Owner’s Checklist (Rolling in D🤦🏻‍♀️h Crossover)

What’s on your business owner to-do list? Here’s a peek at mine, full of items large, small, and existential. This is another crossover from Rolling in D🤦🏻‍♀️h, a recent essay that was an unexpected runaway hit—the most popular to date in the six months since I started on Substack. I had no idea (as usual) whether it would resonate or not when I hit “publish,” until my friend Adam texted to say how much he could relate. “Your comments are blowing up!” he said, sending a screenshot of other people letting me know that I wasn’t alone in my itemized anxiety. Enormous thanks to those of you who have already subscribed, read, commented, and shared—it means the world to me! 📝 Permission To reward yourself with something fun after you complete the most annoying item on your to-do list. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next Delegate one thing you are dreading on your own to-do list. 🔗 Resources Mentioned NaNoWriMo cofounder Grant Faulkner Rolling in Doh: To Do—One Small Business Owner’s Checklist; An Honest Accounting Part One, Part Two, Part Three—Emojij Balance Sheet Articles: Jennifer Egan’s “To Do”, Todd Sattersten’s publishing magic number for book sales, Julia Cameron’s Artist Dates Cartoon: “Alice in Responsibilityland” by Liana Finck for The New Yorker Apps: Substack 📚 Books Mentioned The Art of Brevity by Grant Faulkner Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One Life After College 🎧 Related Episodes Free Time: 238: Why Revenue Goals Don’t Work (For Me) 226: Is your business a hot mess?
