Meet Your Instructor
Hey there 👋 I'm Sarah Steckler and I'll be guiding you through the process of getting your creative business organized from setting up your Inbox to managing all of your infinite ideas!
Sarah Steckler
Productivity Strategist
I've been running my online business since 2016. Google Workspace has played a pivotal role in keeping me organized, running my schedule, staying on top of deadlines, managing my energy, and collaborating with other entrepreneurs.
Over the years (and with lots of trial and error) I learned easier ways to setup Gmail, Google Calendar, and structure my File and Folder systems so that I can worry less about how to store things and more about actually doing the work.
I can't wait to walk you through all of the templates and step-by-step tutorials you'll be able to implement right away inside Wonderful Workspace. You are going to love this course!
Kind Words from Students
"I typically shy away from self-paced online courses because you are left to your own devices to master new skills with minimal support or guidance from the course creator. This is NOT the case with Sarah! She is a hands-on coach! Just one message away!"
- Robyn Gobin
"Sarah's ability to document a process and guide people through it is really unparalleled. She generously shares what she learns, even as she gets updated information."
- Elizabeth Pinborough
- Molly Wiecks, FivetoSix.com
I loved the time blocking templates and the information on how to set up a Google calendar. I needed to analyze where my time was being spent and this course definitely helped me do that. I struggle with setting boundaries on my work time and knowing when I've done "enough". This course helped me set a time budget for myself. I've been tracking my work with the pomodoros worksheet and that has been SO helpful. Seeing myself complete 40 pomodoros by Thursday each week helps me know that I'm getting lots of focused work done each week and makes me feel good about taking time away to have lunch with a friend or take a weekend completely off.
This is an extremely valuable resource for business owners of all types. This course is jam-packed with practical tools for organizing your ideas and time. When I finished the course, I had a whole file of documents specific to MY business and life that will help me continue good habits in the future. Even looking over the modules afterwards, it is obvious that I will be able to return, rewatch, and implement more in the future. Thank you, Sarah!!
