At the top of my workspace, I created a color-coded legend for different side projects. I decided to use Notion for my to-do lists as well. This helps me chunk relevant information together. I also have subsequent pages for each of the three conference talks I have to develop. For example, underneath my Conference section, I have a page which contains an overarching list of all conferences I'll speak at, and their logistics. Within each of these sections, I have a multitude of pages. The first step was to take a piece of paper and sketch out my ideal workspace.

Thus, I finally watched a YouTube tutorial to develop an effective workflow. While the interface seems minimalist and user-friendly, the app is extremely robust. Notion has always been a tool I admired, but was frankly terrified of using. Note: I use a Mac book, so the apps I'm recommending may work differently (or not be available) across other operating systems. Here are my top three tools which helped me get my life together and get more done. Thus, I decided to get my sh*t together and get organized. Needless to say, I was a bit scatterbrained. Attend and help organize a local JavaScript meetupĪnd between all of this, I tried to find time to travel, spend time with family and friends, learn German, and relax.Blog (for myself and for Ultimate Courses).

Here are just a few of the things I'm actively engaged in: And up until today my answer was always the same: 'I'm struggling to keep my head above water.' 'How do you get so much done?' This is a question I receive several times a week.
