About the event

During this cozy/inspiring afternoon, we'll take you along on our journey to find that system. A code that took a long time to crack and that we're going to share with you this afternoon. We'll show you that a powerful system is anything but boring and is the foundation for a creative, productive, financially healthy, and happy life.

How do two originally creative chaotic individuals ensure they can do dream commercial work, run a successful podcast/YouTube channel/studio, create personal projects, stay active on social media, maintain a healthy relationship, exercise four times a week, AND have time for friends?

The big secret is structure, routines, and systems. While Sjoerd discovered this wisdom years ago, Kris only recently saw the light. But one thing is certain, finding their system changed both of their lives.

What will be covered?

  1. A Notion walkthrough - Our main system is Notion. So, we'll talk a lot about this tool and guide you through our (fairly advanced) self-built templates.

  2. A Milanote walkthrough - How Sjoerd uses Milanote to create visual boards that are easy to navigate.

  3. The PARA methodology. A proven project management philosophy.

  4. Data management for visual creators

  5. Keep track of you money, a dive into finance - Sjoerd will take you through his bookkeeping software and financial numbers to show how admin stuff can become fun!

  6. Q&A

What is included:

In an effort to keep the costs down but provide you with the best possible information, we offer the following:

  • A cold drink

  • Coffee/tea

  • Some (un)healthy snacks

  • 4 hours of valuable insights

  • a chance to speak to other creators and expand your network
