If you find it helpful to write down your near term goals and how you plan to achieve them…this new channel on the forum is the place for you!
https://community.stackingthebricks.com/c/30x500-students/goals-and-plans
A few useful notes about how this is set up:
First, this channel is currently muted by default for everyone. That means your updates will not be emailed out to everyone, or show up in the “latest” section on the homepage. That way you don’t have to worry about spamming/bothering others with your updates!
Second, I think the best plan (at least for now) is to create a thread for ALL of your plans, and add your updates as comments to that thread. This will keep sort of an ongoing “journal” that you can check back on anytime you want to see your progress!
Finally, when creating a new thread while viewing this new category, the system will pre-populate the text box with these questions to guide your updates.
What did you work on since your last update? What went well, what do you think needs improvement? What did you learn?
What are you going to work on next? Do you have a deadline? What’s your plan for accomplishing this goal?
You can do the updates however you want, these are only recommendations. Also, if you have suggestions for ways to improve these prompts (add to them, or change them), I’m very open to suggestions!
Thanks to @wendy @joepetrakovich @axel and @areiterer for feedback and suggestions on this idea!
