• When I’m working, I don’t log a lot in the journal, I noticed.
    • So experimenting with logging thoughts on work activities.
    • Not much detail on specifics, more reflections on activities and process.
    • I quite enjoy it so far. Useful to reflect.

Today at work I:

  • Did the usual inbox trawls and day planning.
    • Day planning I do with org-mode, org-agenda and org-timeline.
  • Prepped for the meetings for the day.
    • Mostly with mindmaps.
  • Did some strategic planning for next year.
    • Mindmaps and freeform writing.
  • Some rote work
    • processing incoming applications for things, updating website accordingly
    • always good to think with this stuff how processes could be streamlined
  • Minor website content change.
    • Minor change, but thinking about the UX of it is always interesting.
    • And how it affects client agreements/expectations, too.
  • Planning and assigning work for my team.
    • Bit of mindmapping combined with going through Jira.
  • Reviewing new features.
    • Code and functionality. Code review is in Github.
    • Testing I tend to build the feature branch locally.
  • Meetings.
    • Sometimes I jot things down on mindmap.
    • Somethings I record things straight into knowledge base.
    • Sometimes I log things straight into org as TODOs.
    • It’s a bit haphazard to he honest. Could be improved.
  • Emailing external partners.
    • Always interesting the amount of work that goes into crafting an email to get across all the nuances of your position on something.
  • Distracting myself with Slack threads not really related to what I’m doing.
