5 Tips for Being More Productive for Solopreneurs using ClickUp

Are you a solo business owner ("solopreneur") looking to get massive amounts of work done in ClickUp, but aren't sure how to use ClickUp to be your most productive self? We've got some tips for you!
We recently received an email from one of you that specifically asked, "What can I do to get ClickUp to kick my butt?". And while no project management tool is going to be the ultimate kick in the butt you may be looking for, it can give you space to build momentum -- IF you set it up to work in your favor.
Here's what we'll cover:
00:00 - Introduction: "How do I get ClickUp to kick my own butt into gear?"
01:25 - Tip #1: Hide the Tasks you can't do yet, by using Me Mode and other filters.
04:40 - Tip #2: Take charge of your Notifications
05:40 - Tip #3: Organize your Hierarchy (without over-organizing!)
❓ Should your ClickUp project be a Space, Folder, List, or Task? Take our FREE quiz: processdriven.co/hierarchy-quiz/
07:04 - Tip #4: Use "Enforcement Automations"
09:15 - Switch to "Personal Workspace"

Your videos are so helpful! I really want to use ClickUp to get my (very) small bakery business organized as I grow. I'm definitely struggling with how to best organize everything from custom orders, markets, and classes to the more backend tasks that I have. I have no employees😅 Is there a resource you could recommend where I can work with a professional to get past the mental pain of setup or even look at setups of people with similar requirements to mine?

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey Kim! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 I would suggest checking out the ProcessDriven Membership! In it we teach you exactly how to set everything up the way you need it while providing support every step of the way. You can get the details here: processdriven.co/services/membership

This is great info! I’m trying to figure out what app to use for my tasks(both personal and professional), calendars(both personal and professional), notes, journal, keep important papers/files’ - kind of all in one thing that I can use on mobile and computer. I guess my question is that I haven’t liked the mobile app functionality at all.. have they updated things? It seems there’s two apps which is confusing too. Also next question is can ClickUp sync to different calendars (both Google and outlook)? Thanks!

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey Pam! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 Regarding the email question - yes! Here's a video that may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIiydJiuoNN4d80

[@MrBlue-hz4em]

Hey Layla, I just watched this great video. Now I want to implement these tips right away for me as solopreneur. 🤩👍🏻 Side comment: It seems that the video link which you talked about here is missing somehow.

[@LaylaPomper]

I'd contact the Admissions office! :)

[@compa1314]

I can't find "Me mode", "everyone" button missing as well in my views. Any tips? Maybe need to enable it somewhere (?) Currently on the unlimited plan. I'll appreciate any clues. Thanks for the video Layla, you rock!

[@alexrizea4322]

You should be able to see it in the Space, Folder or List hierachy on the top right (near Group by and Subtasks buttons). It's a button with a user icon and the "Me" text. Nothing is necessary before hand, you can enable it on any plan.

[@LaylaPomper]

Exactly! Also, Me Mode will be not visible if you work in Personal Mode. (It’s a Workspace-Level setting!)

Hi after trying to set up clickup for my team of 5 people, ive got this message: "Custom fields exceeded for free forever plan". Is this a bug or an actual thing? Hows is this actually real?

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey Bane! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 You get 100 Custom Field uses on the Free Forever Plan. Here's an article that may help ;help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/articles/6303670304919-Manage-Custom-Fields#:~:text=100%20uses%20of%20Custom%20Fields,be%20hidden%20from%20all%20guests.

ClickBut or KickUp?

[@LaylaPomper]

😂

[@NazzarenoGiannelliCG]

@@LaylaPomper 😅 I'll take the opportunity to thank you for all the quality videos you are publishing about ClickUp. I hope that the ClickUp team is well aware of the great service you are doing to them. I am sure that it's thanks to you if many people knows and uses ClickUp today. I am coming from a couple of years of experience with Notion (I am part of the ambassadors cult) and for that tool KZbin is flooded of content, tutorials and tips. I didn't find the same for ClickUp... I didn't see many quality content creators I liked.... Or at least your content was popping up all the time, I liked it quite a lot and I didn't even bother looking at other youtubers' stuff. I am learning a lot from what you share, and not just about the software, but also about work ethic and project management in general. So thank you very much, keep pushing and have a wonderful new year!

[@mortgagedavid]

seems complicated as hell

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey David! It certainly can be when you're first learning it!
