“The simpler the system, the easier it is to follow. A lot of times we make things super complicated, but our systems don’t need to be that complicated. It’s about creating that system and tweaking it to make it work for you.” - Kristin MacRae
“Put that deadline on your calendar and then backdate everything you need to do up until that deadline. Mark it out on your calendar to get everything done along the way.” - Kristin MacRae
