The Task List Apocalypse: That Time Marketing Got Sent to the Warehouse

What happens when your perfectly curated task list meets a crisis it can’t triage? You get sent to the warehouse.

In this episode, Nate (Performance) and Di (Creative) pull back the curtain on the “Task List Apocalypse” at their day job. They cover the whiplash of a “polite panic” season, the 90-degree demand spike that buried operations, and the unhinged moment they were flown out to pack boxes (and research poly-bag sealers).

Tune in for a real-talk post-mortem on:

• The Systems Break: The exact moment Nate resorted to voice-to-text and Di’s blended system crumbled.
• The “Chaos Hangover”: How to dig out from the EOY pile-up (recaps, budgets, & roadmaps).
• The “Type A” Rebuild: Actionable fixes, including Nate’s ‘Project Red Phone’ and ‘Operation: Clone the Process.’
• A deep dive into the task management tools we actually use to GSD, including MS To-Do, Power Automate, Monday.com, and a full breakdown of Microsoft Loop.
