Here is how to fix your notifications
|
Hi Reader 👋 New: Listen to this email​ I’m at my day job building out a ClickUp dashboard to try and make sense of all the tasks, deadlines, team progress. And then I stumble upon this card, and it’s called the Who’s Behind card. This card shows “Inbox unread notifications” and “Total overdue tasks” for each user in the workspace. When I went and had a look at it and actually saw the data, it was kind of shocking. Out of the 18 people in the workspace in my day job, 6 of them (an entire third!) had 100+ unread notifications sitting in their ClickUp inboxes. This explained why ClickUp hadn’t been working too well recently as a way to communicate. Can you imagine all the chaos? You get all these updates, people asking questions, people trying to assign you tasks… And then none of the work actually gets done. None of the questions get answered. People just have too many notifications. This is why people keep falling back on apps like Slack and Teams for discussing tickets and ideas So what I’ve done is I’ve made a five-minute video on how I’ve set up my notifications in ClickUp and the process that I think everyone in the team needs to go through to set up their own notifications. I’m sending this out to the workspace now, but I’m going to put it here in the newsletter as well. And this is very ClickUp focused, but the idea still stands. No matter and what app you’re using, you can set up your notifications in a way that suits you. For me, that means:

It’s fascinating to see how different industries can leverage ClickUp to streamline their unique workflows. This is what I love about my work - helping businesses unlock the full potential of ClickUp, one notification at a time. If you need personalised help getting your ClickUp workspace into shape, you know where to find me. Let’s turn those notifications off and get some work done! ​ Have a great Thursday! Will ​ |

The Productive Dad Hi Reader 👋 Hope you're having an amazing Thursday! If you’ve ever tried to get your team to use time tracking in ClickUp, you know it’s a pain in the butt. People forget to start the timer, leave it running for hours, or just skip it altogether. And when you’re working with clients, you need a quick way to see how long things actually take, without chasing your team for timesheets. That’s why I put together this quick video to show a simple ClickUp dashboard that lets you...
The Productive Dad Read this post online here. Hi Reader 👋 Hope you're having an amazing Thursday! Data entry is one of those jobs that drains your energy fast. It’s the kind of work that makes you question your life choices. When did you become a cog in the knowledge-worker machine? But if you’re running a business, or even just trying to keep your team organised, you can’t skip it. You need those categories for reporting, for insights, for making better decisions. So you grit your teeth and...
ClickUp is for creativity. Don’t agree? Today, I’ve loaded up a new project in ClickUp to organise my music composition process for the first time. This is a bit of an experiment for me. I’ve always used ClickUp for consulting, client work, and the usual project management stuff, but never for something as creative as writing music. I used to write a lot of music before my daughter was born. You can check out the full playlist here. I’m genuinely excited to see how a project management...
