My @NotionHQ Project dashboard is 🔥. It's SO helpful to visualize projects + tasks in different ways: Ongoing Projects along the top, then Project Timeline, then Tasks by Project, then Task calendar below. Video walkthrough forthcoming...
The Actions dashboard is more granular. Both are useful in different ways:
And just for shits + giggles.... inspired by @creative_ben: working based on your mood:
@danshipper be like, cool Marie. Where are my articles if they’re so “extreme”...👀

THREAD. I've talked about this before, and I think it bears revisiting. I remember ~10 years ago thinking to myself that my fear of being in front of a camera or on stage was going to hold me back in business, (and probably in life too) and I *hated* that.
Most people are surprised to learn this. They think I am very comfortable and natural in front of a camera. I have a YouTube Channel. I have done a live webinar every week for over a year. But people only *see* the past year; they don't really know what it took to get there.
This morning a client mentioned something about me having to get ready for my office hours and I casually brushed it off like, "what do you mean? I just have to show up!" and he was like, "sure but you have prepare, right?" and I was like, nah, it's the guest that has to prep!
37 Life + Business lessons learned in the last 37 years, (tagging my Birthday Bestie @MargReffell who also did her 39 lessons post today)! In no particular order:
Discernment is a core/essential life + business skill. You will be faced with an endless sea of “shoulds”, and your job is to discover which of those make sense for you. You can learn a lot from coaches, mentors, but at the end of the day, no one knows you like you do.
Courage is almost always rewarded. I heard someone once say that our potential for success is proportional to our willingness to take risks, and I believe that this is mostly true. (I have a very high tolerance for risk)
Something I've noticed when collaborating with teams on client work: many folks don't pick up on the often under-articulated need that clients have to *reduce their decision fatigue.*
I never quite realized that I was doing this, and it could be easily misinterpreted as "people pleasing," but essentially, I've always believed that being a valuable team member means making recommendations, curating options, and minimizing the client stress (if possible).
By asking yourself, "How can I make this even just a little bit easier for the client?" I believe you can begin moving from being just a "contractor" toward "indispensable team member."
