Hi all, newbie here. I’m working through the workshop and workbook.I would appreciate thoughts from those who have gone through this already! Most of my life stuff will fall into the standard kinds of categories within one area except these things I am stuck on.
-
I have received a particular award for several years in a row where the program involves a lot of discussions under NDA (non disclosure agreement) for those awardees. (Future product direction types of non-public discussions). I’m leaning towards an area for that by itself because I can somewhat segregate that, vs intermingling files and notes. (If I do a file search and things come up in that distinct numbering I would know visually it’s under NDA for example).
-
I’m acting as a power of attorney and health care proxy for a relative who is in long term care. Essentially I have records for them that span the typical life gamut. I think an area for this makes sense too since it feels like there is more complexity than simply having IDs within a category for this family member. At some point I may need to do this with/for my parents too as they are approaching the same stage in life.
-
I have my own business (consulting) - incorporated but “small” in the context of business, no employees, nothing super complex. I know it could be its own system but I think I could get away with this being an area too. If it were larger or more complex I would go with its own system.
-
The last one is harder to explain. I struggle with how to categorize education vs learning for fun vs learning for a hobby I’m interested in. Examples: I have some certifications in Power BI and inspiration docs where I save dashboards I like or snippets of DAX code. I have saved links or docs about things I’d like to build some day (with wood), and plans for a workbench that I started building during COVID (LOL, still working on it). I have development code files (Visual Studio and SQL) for a hobby project I built a few years ago and ideas and scripts or notes for other projects I’d like to build. I happen to be a CPA and have annual tracking I need to do and courses I need to take to keep up certain standards (prof development hours). All seem very random and distinct but very much related in some broad sense. Maybe these are all just IDs within a single broad category of “personal and professional development”??
Thanks in advance to anyone with thoughts or ideas!
