About this episode

In this episode, Anna Dearmon Kornick talks with Julie Fried about managing information overload and reducing mental load through effective systems.

Do you know your family's wifi password, your kid's shoe size, and exactly what happens if you disappear for a week? I bet you're the only one who does. In this episode, I sit down with Julie Fried, host of The System for Everything podcast and a former wedding planner turned systems strategist, to talk about why systems aren't about getting more done, they're about worrying less. Julie shares the three systems that save her sanity as a working mom, why checklists are a sign of respect for your own brain, and the story behind her Entrepreneur's Death Folder, a tool that helps business owners, and honestly everyone, build a plan for when life happens.
