Today we?re talking about one of our favorite things in the world: AUTOMATION! Yup, you read that right :). ?Automation? isn?t a super sexy word, but stick with us for a sec. One of the best ways to enjoy wedding planning (and keep from the dreaded overwhelm) is to do less of it.

These days, the best way to do less work planning is to make your computer do more! We?ve got 3 simple automation tips that will let you set it and forget it, so you can get back to binging your favorite Netflix show next weekend, in no time. We?ve also created a FREE RESOURCES SHEET to get a list of our go-to tools around the web. By the way, all of our go-to tools are also free… Because that?s the way we roll
Pick a list-making system and use it religiously
You?ll be amazed by how much faster you can check things off your list, once you actually HAVE a list! Plus, trying to remember everything in your head, adds to a sense of anxiety and chaos. Write everything down in one place, and do it online, so it can?t get lost in the bottom of your bag. Then let it go until your next chance to work on the wedding. Once you get in the habit of doing this, you?ll never have to wonder, ?what should I be working on next"? which can gobble up tons of time. When you have a block of time to work on the wedding, just do the next thing on the list.
