The most expensive question in your agency:

“What’s the status?”

As a founder, it’s the question you ask most often every week.

And honestly, it’s exhausting.

Every time, it quietly steals from you:

→ 5 minutes while checking in.

→ 10 minutes while updating links here and there.

→ The headspace you needed for sales, strategy, or even just dinner without Slack buzzing.

Do the calculation of your just 5-10 minutes - 1 hour wasted in a day.

And ultimately, 7+ hours fly away in a week.

Here’s why it never ends

A task gets updated in Notion, ClickUp, or Google Sheet…

But unless someone manually tells you, no one actually knows it’s done.

So you check in over and over.

Here’s the simple fix I set up for fast-growing agencies:

👉 Let the system send updates for you.

Connect your task tracker to Slack → every update auto-shows up in the right channel.
When a deliverable is approved in software like Basecamp → the status auto-updates in the right Google Sheet.
When a client marks feedback as complete → your team’s next task is auto-assigned and notified instantly.

No more “Did you update this?” ping.

That’s the power of light automation:

You lead. The system updates.

The outcome?

Less founder bottleneck
Clear visibility without endless check-ins
A team that moves faster while you get your time & energy back for sales and strategy.

That’s what I call calm scaling.
