How many tabs do you have open?

 I’m the kind of creator who usually has 10-15 browser tabs open, files and images cluttering my desktop, and resources propped open from several places. It’s a messy system. It’s no system. 😳 But, I’m delighted by a new solution.

It’s called Kahana Writing Hubs. A free service, platform, and tools to help with everything I want to make or plan. Optimal organization, clean and undistracted writing hubs are built-in. Now, just one navigable area holds my whole project that teem with files and resources—and it’s stress-free. What a salvation from wasted time and hassles!

If you’d like to take a look at this free-forever access to writing resources that is simple, frictionless, and distraction-free, use the reference code FOUNDER. 🚩PLEASE NOTE: These are limited spots on a waiting list and this is available for a limited time. Get your Free Account with bonus writing hubs at Kahana or get more info here at Kahana.co/register
A LITTLE HELP, please? • Most everything I create can be enjoyed for little or nothing. So, that means I need your help to make this possible. Can you give today? Just pay-what-you’d-like or what you can to help. It’s appreciated. Thank you. ❤️ • VENMO: venmo.com/lisadelay • PayPal.me/lisacolondelay
