Sticky Notes, Spreadsheets & Shiny Apps: Why None of Them Are Saving You

In this episode of More Zest, we’re tackling a juicy one: systems and tools, and why your latest productivity app probably isn’t the magic solution you hoped for.

If you’ve ever spent more time setting up a new Trello board than actually doing the tasks on it, this one’s for you.

We’ll bust the myth that tools = productivity, explore the real reasons systems fail, and walk through a quick personal audit to help you identify what’s actually working… and what’s just noise.

Because (spoiler alert):
 🧠 It’s not about the tool.
 🔁 It’s about how consistently and intentionally you use it.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

• Why the right system for you matters more than the “right” tool
• The biggest traps people fall into with digital (and physical) tools
• How to run a simple systems audit to uncover what’s helping vs. hindering
• Practical shifts to make your systems actually work for your life and not just look good on Instagram

Zest in Action:

You’ll find the full system audit questions and weekly reset ideas inside your member area under the Zest in Action kit.

🧡 Final Note:

You don’t need a new app.
 
You need a system that fits your brain and the courage to say, “this is enough.”
 
Let’s build from there. One rep at a time.
