You know what’s funny about working from home? You forget what real humans actually look like. Last night, I ventured out from my garden office and went to an in-person networking event. It was at the hotel I used to work at when I was 18. I spent the evening awkwardly inserting myself into different conversations. You know, trying to relearn how to socialise after spending too much time just hanging out with the dog. That’s where I met Andy. He was a computer repair business owner who actually used ClickUp! I’m not used to running into a ClickUp user in the wild. Here’s what I found interesting. Whether you’re a big company or a solo entrepreneur like Andy, everyone seems to have the exact same question when it comes to ClickUp: “How the hell do I structure this thing?” People grab ClickUp thinking it’s going to be the tool that will help them straight away.

The right structure means:
Once you’ve got this structure in place, your mornings become stupidly simple:
Meeting Andy reminded me that we’re all fighting the same battle with work. The tools aren’t the solution, but the structure is a big part of it. Also, this is a reminder that I need to get out more and talk to real humans. P.S.If you’re struggling with your ClickUp setup, you’re not alone.
