About

Templates and systems built in the trenches of real work

We don’t design for aesthetics or theory. Producing Paradise is grounded in lived experience—operations, side hustles, parenting, and running small businesses. Every tool and template we share has been tested in real deadlines, real client chaos, and real family life.

Story angles that actually matter

• Productivity Without the Aesthetic – The anti-Pinterest approach that helps people get organised without the impossible standards

• From Ops to Side Hustles – How careers in operations and program management became the foundation for a new wave of practical productivity tools

• Parent-Proof Productivity – Why systems designed with real family chaos in mind are the ones people actually stick with

• The Notion Edge for Freelancers – How Australian creatives are using simple tools like Notion to compete globally

What makes us different

• We actually use what we teach (Jess’s label maker has seen things)

• Systems tested by real freelancers, parents, and small businesses under real pressure

• Australian perspective with global relevance

• Parent-friendly approach for people who don’t have uninterrupted focus time

Available for

• Expert commentary on productivity, remote work, and small business systems

• Podcast interviews on building sustainable work-life integration

• Workshops on Notion, AI tools, and operational strategy

• Case studies on how simple systems drive business breakthroughs

Sample questions we love answering

• What’s the #1 organisation mistake freelancers make?

• How do you stay productive when working from home?

• What’s one system everyone should set up today?

• Why do most productivity tips fail in real life?
