I often struggle with keeping myself organized, especially in times like these.

I'm striking out on my own. I lost my job (for very dumb reasons) and so instead of putting mine and my families' financial futures into the hands of yet another inadequate HR department, I figured I would fall back on my old skillsets.

- Content creation

- Photography

- Writing

- Website building

- AI experimentation

- Etc.

With all of this going on I happened to stumble on a tool that I had not heard of before. Notion. I'm still not exactly sure what it is for in the base form, but I found a template called the Mind Matrix that is really helping me get my goals, projects and notes in order.

So far I've entered a bunch of information and cleared my desk of almost all of the loose notes I had been taking. I'll probably still take handwritten notes, but this will really help me keep it all straight and keep my desk clean. In the long term, it should help me get to the meaningful work quicker.

I can track my projects, habits, notes, goals and events.

This isn't a sponsored post or anything, I'm just really excited that I found something that can help me keep all of this in order.

Oh, and GM!!!

All the best. 👍🏼

Thank you!

There a lot of great productivity tools - the most important thing is that it works for you and you get things done with that system! All the best mate.

Thank you sir!

That’s awesome that you found something to help keep you organized! Keep up the good fight, it’s always hard to move into a new line of work. The fear of the unknown is real! I feel that on a daily basis, I just stay focused on the goal and find time to forgive myself when I misalign from it.

Wishing you all the best! And GM

I try to be forgiving of myself when I don't manage my goals. So far so good. As long as I can make a bit of progress each day I'm happy for now. That will surely scale up over time.

Good morning!! ☀️☕️

Good morning, glad you have a plan and sounds like you’re ready for it ☕️💜

As ready as I can be!

I use notion a lot.

It might be overwhelming at first but it really pays off diving in and learning how to use it, in the long run.

Check out vids by Thomas Frank and Marie Poulin to see the magic, that's possible with it.

Other tools like Obsidian and Anytype could be worth a look, too, as these work offline and are self-hostable

I'll check those few people out!

I actually have obsidian installed on my phone but I had forgotten what it was. 🤣

Well I'd say 'that sucks' but it appears that you were already ready for HR... which really should be IHR inhumane resources.

Good luck!

Yeah I was well prepared for the realities of a modern HR department.

They essentially traded a competent and enthusiastic operator for an incompetent and physically incapable operator. It was absolutely a DEI measure because "wE nEeD mOrE wOmEn iN mInInG."

As with all of these plane crashes due to these measures, someone else is going to die in the mine if they keep hiring people like who they traded me for.
