That’s why I use the GAPS framework: Gear, Automations, Playbooks, and Support. It’s the system that helped me reclaim 10–12 hours a week, even during one of the busiest summers of my life. In this episode, I break down how you can use GAPS to stop fighting with your tools, cut the manual busywork, and finally get your time back. Top Takeaways

Fame hacks don’t apply—your focus should be on knowing your audience, creating for them, promoting, and experimenting.
The biggest bottleneck isn’t knowing what to do—it’s finding the time to do it.
Gear: Invest in reliable tools so tech doesn’t slow you down.
Automations: Use tools like Zapier, Riverside, and Notion to handle repetitive tasks.
Playbooks: Create simple SOPs so you or anyone else can follow the same steps every time.
Support: Delegate to a VA, editor, or even students—don’t try to do it all yourself.
