Here's the thing about admin work.

It's rarely actually stuck. You're not confused about what needs doing — you're just out of a clean way to think about it right now, in the ten minutes before your next meeting, with three tabs open and a client waiting on a reply.

You know there's probably a better way to run this. You just don't have the headspace, in that exact moment, to go find it. So you do it the way you did it last time, and the friction quietly compounds.

So instead of another course, this is a nudge.

The Spark Deck is 50 of them — one per card, split across the four places things get messy: Structure, Flow, Experience and Skill. Pull one, and you get an insight (why it's messy), a formula (the short rule of thumb), and an action (the small thing to do right now, before your coffee's cold).

Not a system to install. Not a course to finish. Just something to pull out in the gap between meetings and actually use.

Portrait of Marianne Tansley
Who's behind this

I'm Marianne — I built this from my own fixes.

For more than 20 years I worked behind the scenes in other people's businesses — the Executive Assistant everything ran through. I was the bottleneck. I was the system.

The Spark Deck is built from the same small, specific fixes I use myself and hand to clients — cut down to the size of a coffee break, not a course.

I'm not sending you a theory. I'm sending you what actually worked.

A few ways it actually gets used

1

Stuck between meetings. Pull a card and spend the gap doing the small thing, instead of scrolling until the next call starts.

2

Onboarding help. Hand a new assistant three or four cards and skip the "where do I even start" conversation entirely.

3

A weekly reset. Pull five on a Monday, tick off whichever ones actually apply to your week.

4

Before it goes sideways. Pull an Experience card before a tricky client email, instead of after the follow-up chase.

What's probably running through your head

Fair questions, answered honestly.

Is this just another PDF I'll forget about?

No — it's not built to be read front to back. It's an interactive deck: you pull one card at a time, whenever you need it, the same way you'd flip an oracle card. Nothing to schedule, nothing to "get through."

I already get Daily Systems Fix — is this different?

Yes. Daily Systems Fix is one idea a day, delivered on its own schedule. The Spark Deck is on-demand — pull a card the moment you actually need one, in whatever order you like. Some spirit overlaps, but it's a different mechanic for a different moment.

Can I just browse instead of pulling at random?

Either way works. Pull one when you want a nudge, or browse the full deck by category when you know exactly what you're stuck on.

How do I access it after I buy?

You'll get instant access inside The Hub, Marianne's members area. Click through, and the deck's right there — no separate app, nothing extra to install.

You don't need to fix everything today.

You need one small thing to do next. Pull a card.
