When Business Slows Down… Make It Count

You know it’s summer when your to-do list naps, your inbox goes quiet, and you suddenly have time to notice just how disorganized your desk has become. Clients are off on vacations, routines get interrupted, and sometimes things just… slow down.

For me, that’s looked like Jeep rides with my husband, a mini quilt retreat with friends, and clearing out my office drawer by drawer (how do paperclips multiply like that?!).

But in between the fun and the fresh air, I’ve also been using this season to catch up on a few things I’ve put off—like updating my LinkedIn profile (finally!), swapping in my new headshots, and adding case studies to my website. A few of my recent favorites?

• A custom quiz with full follow-up automation

• A course setup that’s organized, branded, and launch-ready

• A community with video libraries and subscription levels

• Funnels, emails, and all the behind-the-scenes details that keep things running

So if your business has felt quieter lately—whether it’s from summer distractions or your own need for a breather—you’re not alone. But a slower season doesn’t have to mean lost momentum. Here are a few low-stress ways to make the most of the space:

✅ Do a mini business checkup. 

Update your email signature. Skim your homepage. Subscribe to your own newsletter and see what your clients experience.

✅ Clear the tiny annoyances. 

That pile you keep ignoring? The supply closet that’s nowhere near your desk? The 17 open browser tabs? Take care of the little things you’ve been tolerating for too long.

✅ Refresh your presence.

Polish your profiles. Add a new photo. Make sure your services and links are up to date.

✅ Organize your workspace.

Whether it’s one drawer or your whole desk, create a space you actually want to sit down at.

Bonus idea. 

Make a “done” list instead of a to-do list. Sometimes, seeing what you’ve already accomplished feels way better than planning more.

Summer won’t stay slow forever, but while it lasts, it’s the perfect time to get things in order on your own terms.
