jenettWelcome to this week's salon post! (After a couple of weeks hiatus. My life, it sometimes gets busy.)
Welcome to this week's salon post.
Topic of the week
I'm betting you've learned or discovered something recently - feel free to share the useful, interesting, or just plain fun things.
(My example in a comment.)
What I've been up to
Last week was a symposium for work (interesting, but sort of exhausting couple of days) and this week has been the week of a bunch of routine medical visits. (Allergist on Wednesday, nutritionist on Thursday, primary care for my seasonal visit + annual physical today. I like all three of them, but it's a lot of appointments.)
Useful notes

Comments are welcome whenever you get a chance - even if that's hours or days later. Feel free to jump into whatever sub-threads intrigue you. More discussion is the point of the salon posts!
Got a question you're trying to sort out, or a thing you'd like to discuss? Lots of thoughtful interesting people with a wide range of interests show up here! Feel free to ask about things you're thinking about or trying to solve, as well as other kinds of chat.

1) Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to. Keeping conversations SFW is appreciated.
2) If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
3) If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

Date: 2019-04-17 02:25 am (UTC)All my experiences are with the planner for my "brain type," the "Alchemist."
Pros:
I write everything down first, THEN prioritize it--forcing both of those things helps me get stuff done
All the planners prioritize the following habits for a day, all of which have planning space in the daily spread: gratitude, wellness, fun, a most important task, and a monthly "ritual" (habit you're trying to work on)
Each brain type then has one other thing it prioritizes (for the Explorer it's time in nature, for the Oracle it's "focus time," for the Alchemist it's sharing a discovery, idk about the Architect because it's the opposite of me so the only one I never considered might be my brain type and investigated).
Each brain type is laid out completely differently--it looks like the Explorer plans out things by time of day blocks. The Alchemist has a space to plan how I will share discoveries every day, which absolutely 100% makes my "flow" better
estimating how long things will take has helped me plan better
I find having to reflect on the previous week to gather weekly data to be a helpful practice, and the sparkly data part of that is totally a motivator.
Cons:
expensive af
given there is an integrated app, the data you get from it is uninteresting and not as manipulatable as the data scientist in me wants it to be
when I don't have a million different things to get done, I tend to just not use it because it's expensive and I don't want to waste the space
definitely not the only useful planning system I have ever used?

Date: 2019-04-18 02:40 pm (UTC)I'm currently using a bullet journal for organization, with various other apps and supplements to handle the things that a bujo doesn't do well, but I'm always looking for new systems (or for parts of systems that I can steal and add to my current system).
