People of Emacs and Org Mode:
Are there any packages to manage a project? I have projectile, but that's more for coding. I mean like a house move or fence build kinda project: something that has multiple todos and will take a protracted amount of time.

Failing any specific package for that, what about a org template for said project?

Always initiate a #task with an action word (a verb) to provide clarity and empower the audience. For instance, instead of merely stating "product blog post" use a phrase like "draft a blog post about my product". This approach results in more confidence as the required action is clear. Tasks, whether ongoing, completed, or pending, can be broken into actionable steps to delegate effectively, ensuring clarity on the progress toward the ultimate goal. #efficiency #taskmanagement #projectplanning

Note to self: a #Kanban board is NOT a uni-directional pipeline!! It's OK for stuff to go from "WIP" back to "Ready" or "Backlog" #AcademicChatter #ProjectPlanning

🎯 Specificity is key to proactive project management. Taking detailed notes and understanding your client's needs can save you from major headaches. Whether it's something as small as noting a client’s preferences or as crucial as annotating code, being proactive starts with the details.

How specific are you in your project planning? 📝

Data Manipulation Initial Planning Is A Crucial Aspect Of Any Project, & It's One Of My Favourite Parts!

I still prefer to do this phase 'old school', with a large piece of (portable) paper, pencil, and eraser, revisiting and adjusting as needed, often the next day as it has percolated overnight...
During this phase, I list constraints, data validation needs, design a broad framework, and determine interactions while trying to future-proof as much as possible. I bring in my requirements and questions from my initial JIRA ticket(s) - and then use these to develop and evolve business rules, along with a process diagram construction.
From there, it's all on to SQL and manual testing in PostgreSQL + PostGIS and finally prototype app construction - for the devs to then take and make it work fast and well!

I'm finding that I'm not at all good at converting my game ideas to paper and then creating individual tasks to do.

I'd rather just sit down and create what's going on in my head straight away. But I know that's not a good idea. So I was wondering how you guys handle this? How do you plan your game projects? Do you have any tips?

Thanks

OK. Real yarn choices. I'm aiming for something largely non-wool here so options are limited

My budget option is
https://www.sandnes-garn.com/tynn-line a cotton/viscose/linen blend which I estimate should cost around $50.

Then there's dungarees rainbow tweed
https://knittingfever.com/queensland-collection/yarn/E-DUNRB
Recycled cotton and some synthetics. $66.

There may be a 100% cotton option in this price range too but I haven't gone to see it.

For 100% linen, we start at $84 with https://www.selected-yarns.com/shop/en/bc-garn/lino

OK so here's the plan. Super simple shapes, rectangles with a gusset sleeve and a shawl collar. And I think I can do a sectional trick that will let me put extra threads and chains where I want them. I haven't seen anyone talking about that though so we'll see if it really works. I might put some extra width below the waist. But I can play that by ear.

Now to go pet yarns!

Having finished something, my brain is excitedly planning new projects.

Sprang! It says. It's time for sprang right? The sprang cardigan! You know you want one! And look! The big loom is free!

OK. Fine. Cardigans are practical. We can try that next. What fibre do you think? Wool? Linen?

Oooooh. A dress! An evening gown!

*facepalm* :blobfacepalm:

So friends, what do you think? What materials should I choose for a light summer sprang cardigan?

#sprang #projectPlanning

Oh no! My brain has just produced plans for a sprang sweater/jacket/dress thingy. It's busy inventing some super cool techniques.

Please convince my brain that I don't need another big project.

My brain has helpfully also modified the project to only require tools that are not currently in use for other things. No brain. You must finish something first.

This week things have begun to ramp up again as some of our customers return from holidays. The team has been working on data infrastructure, project planning, service improvements and some website updates.

From Twitter.

An excellent set of questions to ask yourself when starting a podcast (or Substack, YouTube, TikTok or any media project for which you're trying to attract an audience, subscribers, or sponsors). Comments are good, too.

Some of the qs are similar to what I ask potential PR/Communications clients. The ones who get angry, huffy, arrogant at me are the ones whose projects often struggle more than they should or fail.

Noodling On A Whiteboard Together In-Person At The Office
--
Being in the office a couple of days a week does have its in-person benefits in terms of design, collaborating on design approaches together on in terms of early project design & processes… especially with a slight refocus in my new(ish) role(s)

Time Thieves, such as unknown dependencies and conflicting priorities, are a common problem in daily work. Tooling such as Azure DevOps can be used to help alleviate these issues, as well as making sure that stakeholders are involved in the planning phase of projects. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/itops-talk-blog/azure-boards-organize-and-plan-all-of-your-work/ba-p/3706187 #AzureDevOps #TimeManagement #ProjectPlanning #StakeholderInvolvement

May I once again share my excitement about the #Projects plugin for #Obsidian from @marcusolsson?

I've finally managed to format my references from #Zotero so that they show up in Projects without any problems. Now I can finally create a reading list and easily track and change the status of books from within the Projects view.

Wonderful. Can't wait to continue reading for my dissertation next year and finally track what I want to read or have read each week. But for now, it is a reading break here!
