4PM EST
Study Hall invites you to FRICTIONLESS STRATEGY, an introductory discussion about organizing your freelancing practice with Gabrielle Ione Hickmon, writer, brand strategist, and founder, Studio Ione.
Whether it’s billing and invoicing, scheduling meetings with a client, building a database, or conducting research, there are several ways to automate tasks and reduce the time you spend administering your business so you can have more time for deep work.
Hickmon will discuss the systems she uses to onboard her clients, how she organizes her various research interests to maximize efficiency, and perhaps most importantly, how she maintains a healthy boundary between her personal and professional lives.
The hour-long talk will end with a brief Q&A.
Hosted by Evan Kleekamp
