You know you should be documenting how your business runs, so why does it never actually happen? Most of us picture sitting down with a blank doc and writing every step from memory. That project lands on the someday list and stays there. Today I'm sharing the shift that finally gets your processes out of your head: capture them as you go, while you're actually doing the work. Whether you have a team or you're running things solo, you'll walk away knowing exactly how to capture your first process this week.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why documenting your processes from memory almost never works, and why it leaves out the details that matter most
- Three simple ways to capture a process while you do it: a voice memo, a screen recording, or a quick note
- Which tasks to capture first for the biggest payoff
- Why a rough first version is worth more than a polished one that never gets made
- What to do when your process is never exactly the same twice
- Why capturing your processes matters even if it's just you
- How to turn a rambly voice memo or recording into a clean step-by-step process with Claude
