As your trusted spreadsheet, I, uh, excel in many fields—but resource management is not one of them  😓 The truth is, I’m not good at keeping tabs on work hours, time off, billable and non-billable utilization, task dependencies, budgets, and due dates, no matter how hard I try 😖 Instead of pushing me past my limits, replace me with a dedicated resource management tool—you know, something flexible that can pivot under pressure and isn’t so disconnected from your tool stack. I heard Float is pretty great, and they have a free 14-day trial 🤷 Maybe give that a try? 🤔

Creative Ops is more than just "how many hours in a day". It's empathy, it's (sometimes) translating the creative brain, it's effort vs. impact, it's *LISTENING* and it's adapting. Most importantly though, it's understanding our clients' KPIs with the mutual understanding that their success is ours. The folks at Float.com listen, and they get it. Thanks for the chat, homies! ✨ Stella Inabo Siobhan Hayes

I'm just a spreadsheet Standing in front of a people planner Asking to be replaced by a dedicated resource management tool with real-time updates, budget trackers, drag-and-drop scheduling, a collaborative interface, automated reports, integrated time tracking, customizable dashboards, and forecasting and scenario planning features...
