In this episode of Chronically Automated, Anthony Lobosco and I unpack the real cost of distractions and why multitasking is a myth. Research shows it takes 15 minutes to refocus after a distraction, and that’s time most of us don’t have to waste.

We break down the difference between uncontrollable distractions (like kids and pets) and the ones you can eliminate (like phone alerts and bad time blocking). I talk about how I still struggle with bouncing between tasks thanks to ADHD, and why noise-canceling headphones and automation systems have become mission-critical for my workflow.

Anthony brings his perspective on navigating productivity with neurological challenges, and we both agree: It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing the right things with clarity and focus.

If you’re stuck in the loop of multitasking and burnout, this episode is your roadmap to a simpler, more productive work style.

In this episode of The Queen of Automation, branding strategist Fabi Paolini breaks down why messaging, not tech, design, or funnels, is what truly drives conversions. While the show usually focuses on systems and automation, this conversation zooms in on the words behind the business, and how the right message builds trust and demand before a sale is even made.

Fabi shares her Angle of Mastery framework, which helps entrepreneurs reposition their offers as essential, not optional. Instead of fixating on pain points, she teaches how to speak directly to “power buyers” by reflecting their identity, ambition, and lifestyle. Her process starts with understanding real buyers, identifying the root cause of their problems, and crafting a message that becomes the antidote, then applying it consistently across all content and communication.

She also highlights how messaging fuels the rest of your systems, whether it’s content automation or onboarding. Thanks to her approach, she’s built a high-converting, time-efficient business that runs just four hours a day, with sales call close rates as high as 65%.

The episode ends with a clear takeaway: without strong messaging, your systems won’t work. But with it, your brand becomes unforgettable.

This one’s for every founder, coach, consultant, or creative who’s ever looked at their calendar and thought, “What fresh hell is this?” If your days are a blur of reschedules, forgotten calls, and mystery meetings that make you question your sanity, welcome. You’re in the right episode.

In this conversation, Anthony and I go deep into the mess and magic of scheduling as a business owner. I’m talking about the raw, unfiltered reality of managing a business, a family, a team, multiple brands, and still trying to show up like you’ve got it all together. I don’t. But what I do have is a system.

We unpack how I went from seven scattered calendars and inbox chaos to building a setup where things actually flow. Where automation isn’t just some tech buzzword, it’s my survival strategy. I share the backstory behind a YouTube video I made years ago that exploded overnight, all because so many people were drowning in calendar drama and had no idea there was a better way.

We also talk about why automation doesn't have to mean soulless or robotic. Done right, it creates space for better conversations, deeper connections, and yes, a few more quiet mornings where you get to sip your coffee like a damn human.

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how I choreograph my business around real life, not the other way around. We dig into the emotional load of disorganized operations, the myth of multitasking, and why you should absolutely give your VA access to your calendar (stop clutching your pearls, just do it).

If you’re craving a lifestyle that actually works for your brain, your business, and your bandwidth… this episode is your blueprint to start. Calendars aren’t just tools. They’re territory. And if you’re not owning yours, someone else is.
