Spending this Saturday morning doing a little @clickup organization for @fortelabs.
We're managing a lot of different projects right now with many related sub-tasks, but #ClickUp is making it easier for us to keep on top of things! 1/
One of the features that is really helping the Ops team in @clickup is that we use the same fields across lists. So in every list you'll find:
- Label
- Due Date
- Status
- Latest Comment
- Priority
- Assignee
- Approver
- Contributors
- Informed
- Created by
- Date Created
2/
We also use the ability to add a color to each list (the dot in from of the list name) to help us quickly find the right list.
We try to keep this sorted in alpha order too, for the most part, except for one list... 3/
The "📬Inbox" - we have an Ops team rule that nothing stays on this for more than 2 business days. It's a place for quick capture of tasks, such as when we are in a meeting, or if a team member asks us something quickly in a Google Chat request, etc... 4/
You might be wondering, how do we handle so many lists?
It's simple because we can see everything across all the lists on what @clickup refers to as the "Space" level, in which case for us, it's "Operations". 5/
On the "Operations" space level, we have a number of 📌 lists (always visible), that make it easy to see if there are any urgent 🔥's to deal with, who is doing what, and what we've accomplished recently (helpful for Weekly Reviews!).
6/
Next up is building a few dashboards for Ops team members to share...
In the works: a "👀FOCUS" dashboard to make it easy to focus on specific high priority projects, and a "⏰<5 Dashboard" for those times when you have a few minutes but want to knock out a few quick tasks. /7

📣Dear Online Course Creators:
Take a moment to count how many assets you have in your course for students to download. There is such a thing as "course bloat". I just downloaded 243 assets (combination of Videos, Transcripts, audio files, & PDF eBooks) for a 4-wk course. 🤯
See? I'm not kidding. It...just...keeps...going....
In case you're wondering - why did I bother?
I never finished the course, so I'm going to work on it in Q1 of '22. Also because I make a habit of downloading course assets to a storage location where I control my access. In this case, @devontech + my Google Drive.
Mapping out my #PKM workflows was supremely helpful for me to see which tools were working well together and which weren't.
Today I'm sharing how I'm using my PKM tools and my second brain on a typical (working) day.
(a 🧵thread) 1/
Each day I start by tracking some data in my @NotionHQ databases. First up is entering ACTIVITY data from my @ouraring from the previous day. 2/
Next up, I add data related to how I'm feeling as I start up the day. This data comes from my @ouraring, my @RenphoGroup scale, and personal reflections. 3/
💡Idea: Use these 4 W's in your online course immediately to dramatically reduce repeated help desk questions, improve participation, and encourage course completion. (a thread) 1/
First, all of this needs to go on a page titled "START HERE". Capitals are important. Don't capitalize any other page titles. Why? Because it's attention-getting & students' eyes will be continually drawn to that 1 thing that's not like the others. Add your 4 W's here. 2/
Note: Also important, make sure to use headers to distinguish each of your 4 W's. Otherwise, the text all runs together & when read quickly, some of this core content WILL be missed. Use the header style, please, it helps screen readers for accessibility! 3/
Cohort-based course creators (CBCs) increase students' understanding of topics when they teach complete topics in a brief & easy-to-understand manner. This thread shares what I observed & learned from Session 2 of @cahouser & @julia_saxena's "Minimum Viable Video Course". 1/
), I'm reflecting on my CBC experiences to provide a "peek behind the curtain" for others interested in joining in the future and hopefully to inspire fellow course creators to level-up their teaching practices. 2/
1st: minor context: I'm watching this at 4 AM the day after the lunchtime session as I wasn't able to attend live. Course Creator Takeway: I'm still finding tremendous value even though I wasn't able to attend live. Recording quality should not be an afterthought. 3/
I'm in the midst of a few online courses right now for fun (popularly known in the outside of academia world as "cohort-based courses" [CBCs]) & I'm going share what I'm learning in post-session tweet recaps. Here's why: 1/
Summarizing takeaways helps keep me accountable to review my notes, which helps me turn my ideas & reflections into actionable tasks & projects in #Notion, & provides you with a glimpse into what the course is like should you consider taking the course in the future. 2/
Yesterday's session was with @cahouser & @julia_saxena - "Minimum Viable Video". I participated* over my lunch hour. Participated gets a * because I had some Zoom issues which kicked me out of the first breakout session but I was successfully able to rejoin & 3/
@russellbrunson shares in "Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Converting Your Online Visitors into Lifelong Customers" that "when people purchase any product from anyone, they’re hoping to get a certain result in one of these three areas of their lives." 1/
The 3 areas @russellbrunson describes are (1) health, (2) wealth, & (3) relationships. I'm curious - in 2021 - are #highered institutions paying attention to this? Are entrepreneur-run cohort-based courses (CBCs) thinking about this? 2/
I've witnessed, contributed, & led many strategic initiatives over the last 20 years, but I can't think of one that began with this question by @russellbrunson: "Which of these three desires is my future dream customer trying to receive when they buy my product or service?" 3/
