01Configure tools by role
In a one-person company, you wear multiple hats—but equip tools by role, not by hype. Stick to one or two primary tools per role; keep the rest as backups.
- Content role: copywriting generation, image generation, and video editing tools.
- Marketing Role: Data Analysis + Social Media Scheduling + Form Collection.
- Delivery Role: Project Management + Document Collaboration + Automated Workflows.
- Customer Support Role: Knowledge Base Q&A + Ticket Logging.
- Finance Role: Bookkeeping Tool + Invoice Management
02When to replace your tool
If a tool hasn't been part of your workflow for two consecutive weeks, consider replacing or unsubscribing. Tools deliver value through use, not ownership.
