Friday Five: 5 Tools I Use to Optimize My Life + Business
Jan 23, 2025
"A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think." - Jeff Duntemann
My hope in sharing these 5 tools that have helped me optimize my life and business is not to add more to your plate. They are not magic bullets.
But... these tools have absolutely helped me have more clarity, feel more peace of mind, and experience more success.
Let's dive in.
#1 Kajabi
The all in one platform.
I use Kajabi to write my blog, host and build my website, send emails, host and distribute my podcast, it handles my courses, has an app for the community for Quiet Wealth Membership and Lighthouse Mentorship, collects payments, and more.
I've been using Kajabi for years and I love how it keeps everything integrated.
You can start a 30 day free trial here (I am an affiliate but I only recommend it because I use it for SO much of my business and love it.)
#2 Voxer
I use Voxer for my communication with private clients and small group coaching cohorts + masterminds.
I like it because you can send voice messages and text messages. It feels intimate, and yet it is separate from my other apps on my phone. I only use Voxer for work, so it helps me stay present because I don't get alerts from it when I'm not working.
I have also hosted "Voxer events" where it was like an interactive, private podcast with me. My clients love it!
#3 Big A## Calendar
This is created by the fun and serial entrepreneur, Jesse Itzler.
I've used the big wall calendar and I really love the desk version too. It helps you see your entire year at a glance.
I color code events so I can see my time visually represented.
Things I put on it:
Couples trips with Wesley
Family trips
Work trips/events
Things I'm trying (this year it's skiing, since I made the switch from snowboarding!)
It's fun to see how the colors are distributed. That way everything is in harmony.

#4 Lightning Alignment Journal
These are the questions I ask myself everyday that helps me get into aligned for work and life.
I created a premium hard cover version of the journal on amazon, which you can get here. It includes 365 pages for daily journaling.
I also use the monthly pages to reflect on my past month so I can make decisions about the upcoming month that are aligned with my vision for family and business.
#5 Notion
I use notion to keep all of the things organized. My team and I use it to track client information, log data, track membership, plan events, organize content, and more.
I'm obsessed with it because you can customize it, share it, plan with it, write with it, and more.

I hope these help you as you create more abundance in work and life :)
