How do you…?

Whenever I work on something, I start with the WHY. Because things start with intent, why I’m working on what I’m working on.

In an ideal world, once I know my whys and my whats, I’ll figure out the hows, whens and the how much’s. So there’s a need to identify the required information so I can finish my project, and then I fact-check it to make sure the information is current.

Then I organise the information I have into a sane, pragmatic, see-everything-at-a-glance pattern so I can bring everything together and finish what I started.

In the case of my AI workbook, I used post-its. Post-its are so useful for working things out, and not just making sure you remember your to-do’s.

What’s your workflow?

I stopped doing that for a while. I’m not sure why. Maybe because life was busy, because all I kept doing was whinge about how busy my work was, because…I’m really not sure why I stopped, but I did. And it did feel like something was lost.

So I’ve started it up again. Posting a morning cup post and an evening cup post. To set up my day, and to close the circle in the evening. It’s helping. Somehow. I’ve created a dedicated page to my cups (I found a typo and I can’t unsee it. But because it’s a posted p

I’m hoping it’ll help someone else too.
