In a recent video by Tom Solid, he delves into the intricacies of using ClickUp as a powerful tool for Business Project Management and Business Knowledge Management. The video serves as a sneak peek into the upcoming ClickUp Like a Pro Course and offers a comprehensive look at how the Paperless Movement® leverages ClickUp to manage various aspects of their operations. Let’s break down some of the key takeaways.
The Three-Layer Principle
Tom Solid introduces the three-layer principle, which will be a part of the upcoming ClickUp Like a Pro Course. The principle starts with understanding the concepts, moves on to workflows, and finally, the implementation part. This approach ensures that you not only understand how to use ClickUp but also how to implement it effectively in your setup.
Dynamic Hierarchies and Views
One of the superpowers of ClickUp, according to Tom, is its dynamic hierarchy. Unlike other tools like Asana, ClickUp allows you to see tasks across all folders when you’re at the top level. This feature is particularly useful for Busy Professionals who need a bird’s eye view of all ongoing projects and tasks.
Business Pillars and Labels
Tom introduces the concept of “Business Pillars,” which are essentially labels that help you align your tasks with your business goals. This approach will also be covered in the Project Management Course, helping you stay focused on what truly matters for your business.
Weekly Goals and Milestones
The video emphasizes the importance of setting weekly goals or milestones. These are tasks that have no excuse and need to be completed within the week. This concept aligns well with the ICOR® methodology taught in our Task Management Like a Pro Course, where the focus is on prioritizing tasks effectively.
Automation and Integration
Tom shares how they use automation to move information from ClickUp to Airtable and then to their WordPress website. While Airtable is not part of their ICOR® framework, it serves as an intermediate step for website management.
The Ultimate Single Source of Truth
ClickUp serves as the ultimate single source of truth for the Paperless Movement®. It’s not just about task management; it’s also about knowledge management. This resonates well with what we teach in our Business Knowledge Management Course.

If you’re looking to build a robust productivity system that covers everything from task management to knowledge management, ClickUp could be a significant component.
