Inbox Zero for Solopreneurs: The Exact System I've Used for 8 Years
Have you ever seen a 5-digit notification badge? It’s most stressful things I see on someone's phone. And I get it — as a solopreneur, email feels urgent. What if a client needs something? What if you miss a deal?But after nearly a decade of refining my approach, I've built a technical system that keeps my inbox at (or close to) zero — without having to check it constantly.In this episode, I walk through the full setup: how SaneBox automatically sorts what actually needs my attention, how I route newsletters out of my inbox entirely using Feedbin, how I handle task management without leaving a trail of flagged emails, and how intake forms and text expansion let me process requests in seconds instead of minutes.I also share what I'm experimenting with using AI to handle the data-crunching side of inbox management — so I can still show up as a human when it counts.If you're sitting there thinking, 'yeah, that's me but I don't even know where to start?

Do LLMs employ variable rewards, Spike Lee's hat, and a chilling video [Friday Wrap-Up]
Welcome to the Friday Wrap-Up for May 15, 2026. This is a short newsletter where I talk about 3 things: What’s on my mind this week, Recommended Reading, and Recommended Media. Here's what's on my mind...Earlier this week I found myself fighting Claude on something I felt was a pretty basic problem — one that I had used it to solve before. I kept going back and forth with Claude. I would ask it questions. It would then do things I didn't even remotely ask it to do. I started to form a weird theory in my head that Opus 4.7 is designed to waste tokens. But I'm actually worried it's worse than that. Recommended Reading: The colorful impact of Spike Lee’s red Yankees hat request 30 years ago: I'm a chronic Yankees hat collector. I suspect my collection pales in comparison to some, but I have over a dozen hats emblazoned with the classic Interlocking NY that has persisted for over 100 years. In other words, I love a dope hat. Recommended Media: I Tracked Down the Hidden Workers Secretly Powering ChatGPT: And now for something totally different. This video talks about companies that recruit people who train LLMs. The problems it highlights is twofold: the predatory nature of recruiting experts in a way that's dehumanizing, and the chilling mindset behind AI companies who basically want to own knowledge and sell it back to us.

The Right Newsletter Tool Makes All the Difference: Why Solopreneurs Should Use Kit
Does having a mailing list feel like too much for you? Like it’s adding “one more thing” to your list as a one-person business?That's what I hear constantly when I coach solopreneurs. Either they don't have a newsletter because it feels like too much work, or they have one, but they're paying for a plan they don't actually need. And in almost every case, it's not a strategy problem. It's a tool problem.That's why I'm making the case for Kit (formerly ConvertKit) — not because it's the flashiest option, but because it removes work instead of adding it. In this episode, I break down four specific reasons Kit is my go-to for solopreneur automation: easy setup, powerful evergreen automations, direct integrations with the tools you already use, and RSS-to-email that turns your podcast or blog into a newsletter without lifting a finger.I also share how I saved my client Laura to a bunch of money thanks to Kit’s free plan.If your newsletter has been sitting on the back burner, this one's for you.Wondering if you’re leaving money on the table with tools you’re not using or overpaying for?

Why Your Solopreneur Business Feels Overwhelming (Fix This First)
The most overwhelming room in my house is the sunroom. Three small kids, all their toys, total chaos. One day, I was sitting in there feeling overstimulated and realized it would take about five minutes to clean it up. So we did — and suddenly it was a great place to hang out again.A lot of solopreneur businesses are like that sunroom. They're not broken. They don't need a massive overhaul. They need a quick sweep — a reset of your time, your tasks, and your tools.That's exactly what I walk through in this episode. I'm breaking down the full Solopreneur Sweep, a three-step process I built after my own business stress led to a panic attack back in 2020. Since then, I've used this system to save 12 hours a week and help hundreds of solopreneurs do the same.Here's what we cover: How to take control of your schedule so meetings stop eating your weekHow to get your to-do list down to 15 tasks maxHow to audit your tools so you stop paying for things that don't earn their keep. It's the starting point for anyone running a one-person business who wants to automate what doesn't need their attention and reclaim real time off.Start with the free Solopreneur Sweep — a step-by-step method for finding where your business is losing time: https://streamlined.fm/sweepShow NotesThe Solopreneur Sweep (free download)How I Saved Laura Brazan More Than She Spent on CoachingSolopreneur Sweep Video WalkthroughUnderstanding How You Work with Task JournalingAt Your Best by Carey Neiuwhof - Intro - Manage your schedule - Get your to-do list under control - Organize your toolbox - What's at stake ————Streamlined Solopreneur is the podcast for solopreneurs who want to automate their business and take time off worry-free.

What Solopreneurs Can Learn From Star Wars
I have a confession to make: The first Star Wars movie I ever saw was Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. I was 13, and it just hit the dollar theater when my friend invited me to see it with him. He realized I had never seen the Original Trilogy when I was surprised that Qui-Gon Jinn died (spoiler, I guess). We fixed that quickly, but this movie, despite being considered the worst Star Wars movie of all time (maybe bottom 2 now), started my love of the franchise.So I thought, in honor of May the Fourth, I'd share with you what you can learn from Star Wars...particularly from a solopreneur systems and automations point of view.

The One Thing Solopreneurs Shouldn't Automate (And What to Automate Instead)
Using AI to write your book is like using a car to run your marathon. Sure, you covered the distance — but nobody's impressed.Here's what I'm seeing with solopreneur automation right now: people are handing off their most important work to AI without thinking about what that signals. When you let a language model write your first draft, come up with your ideas, or do your thinking for you, you're telling your audience that a lesser version of you is good enough. And if you can't be bothered to think through the problem you solve, why should anyone hire you to solve it?The reason most of us reach for AI isn't laziness. It's that running a one-person business leaves you feeling too busy to do the creative work. So I break down how to speed up your creative process without removing yourself from it: building an idea capture system so you never start from a blank screen, using AI for editing and feedback instead of drafting, and delegating the publishing busywork to a VA or tool like Claude Cowork.I also talk about how to automate your business in a way that frees up time for the work that actually matters — the writing, the thinking, the stuff that keeps your solopreneur systems running on your ideas, not some average of an LLM’s training.Want a better understanding of how you spend your time?
