Kill Decision Fatigue with Simple “Recipes” for Your Business

Streamlined Solopreneur: Tips to Help Business Owners Grow Without Burnout

Ever go to do something – a task for your business, yard work, cooking – and suddenly realize you’re not sure where to start?

It’s not that you don’t know what to do…you just need a little help organizing your thoughts. It would be a lot easier if everything is written down, step-by-step. That’s where SOPs come in.

Most solopreneurs think SOPs are only for big companies with teams of 50+. But the truth? Even if you’re a business of one, SOPs (standard operating procedures) can save you time, reduce errors, and keep your business running smoothly—especially on the days when your energy or focus isn’t there.

In this conversation with Layla Pomper of ProcessDriven, we dig into how SOPs can simplify your work, help you automate and delegate, and even free up more headspace for the creative stuff you actually enjoy.

Trying to figure out which SOPs you should create first? Take the Business Overwhelm Diagnostic.

Top Takeaways

• SOPs are like recipes—great for capturing details you’ll forget in the moment and for keeping quality consistent.
• Writing down the process first makes automation or delegation way easier—and prevents wasted time tinkering.
• SOPs aren’t about bureaucracy; they’re about removing decision fatigue and protecting your creative energy.
