10 ways to get better organized as as aspiring solo “Creative”
1. Store everything In Obsidian
2. Weekly review of active projects
3. Weekly review of archive notes
4. Some type of physical visual scheduling system
Sticky notes on a whiteboard calendar? Not on a computer: something that can be seen
5. Production schedule
6. Open area of topics to explore in The future
7. Have progress meetings with myself
Just like work but put on different hats
8. Have monthly and quarterly post mortems
What went well? What didn’t go well? What were the distractions?
9. Have quarterly pre mortems
What might go wrong and how to address it?
10. Spend time planning ahead: quarterly, one year and five year visions
My plans are currently too vague. I need to spend time to create a target goal. Make the visions extremely specific. I ended up writing a book that I was not planning on. The book is fine and I learned a lot but I don’t think it took me in the right direction: although without a good plan if I don’t know where I am going I won’t know if I get there.
