Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> If you're like me, you struggle to carve out time to write...you wish you could uncomplicate life and get more done.<br> <br> <br> <br> Good news! I have business coach and online business manager Kari Roberts on the show to help us think through simple systems that can unlock our writing productivity and creativity.<br> <br> <br> <br> "It's like you're on a treadmill," she says. "You're running in place, but you're not going anywhere. So you're not really getting anything done."<br> <br> <br> <br> Sound familiar? Kari knows our struggles and offers solutions. She says, "You might need to strategize or systematize other things so that you can make the space that you need to do the writing."<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Kari Roberts is a business coach and online business manager for creative small business owners. She helps them figure out time management and systems that allow them to grow their business while still having enough time and energy for work, business, and home life. Her business advice has been featured on VoyageATL Magazine, The Rising Tide Society, The Speak to Scale Podcast, Creative at Heart Conference and more. <br> <br> <br> <br> Kari is the host of Finding Freedom with Simple Systems Podcast and the creator and host of Overwhelmed to Organized the Summit. When she isn’t being a “serial helper” through one of her businesses she enjoys watching sports with her husband, walking in the park with her 2 dogs, listening to podcasts, sampling tasty bourbons, and catching up on reality TV.<br> <br> <br> <br> Her approach to creating systems? "I like to go in and try to find: What's the simplest way. If we're trying to get X done, what's the simplest way to get to X. It may not be the fancy thing. It may not be with the shiny object. But if we can condense it and make it simple, then that can free up your time and free up your mental space so that you can get other things done."<br> <br> <br> <br> Listen to the interview and you'll learn principles that may transform your approach to writing...and life.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Resources:<br> <br> <br> <br> * <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://kariandcompany.com/" target="_blank">Kari Roberts' website</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/kari.and.company/" target="_blank">Kari on Instagram</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Finding-Freedom-with-Simple-Systems-Podcast/B08JJ6YRY9" target="_blank">Finding Freedom with Simple Systems Podcast</a>* Get your very own copy of Kari's Time-Blocking Schedule: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5ec179d3ab499000265f0e69" target="_blank">HERE</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://kariandcompany.com/sss" target="_blank">Simple Systems Setup course</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5ec179d3ab499000265f0e69" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> https://youtu.be/xgNp7vmbXpk<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ANN KROEKER, WRITING COACH<br> <br> <br> <br> Episode 239 Transcript<br> <br> <br> <br> How Simple Systems Can Unlock Your Writing Productivity: Interview with Kari Roberts<br> <br> <br> <br> Ann Kroeker (00:03): It's so hard to find time for writing, isn't it?
