review employer branding experiment one page done by a colleague

I feel it's premature and fear we overdesign instead of going for the core first.
But we'll see.

The main takeaway is to not focus on performance (output) as much as being open and enjoy the process.

hacked together a simple invoicing & accounting sys

After saying hello and exporting my shit from bullethq.
I've felt lonely and lost.
Then remembered, I'm pushing so few invoices at the moment I'm totally fine with Gsheet + LibreOffice Draw to edit pdfs.
So, there it goes.
Booom...

v1.0 probably will include some Integromat automation on top of Gsheets, not sure, but quite likely I'll try to automate the filling, sending + follow-up of invoices.

trying to have an export from bullethq.ie for my accounting :) 🤞

Dez Papp Author

got the access back for two days (yesterday I was kinda feeling 💩so got only today to export. I will obviously make it work with the VAT export function which was fine with bullethq.ie until it wasn't so because ros.ie has changed.)

soul searching + setting up boundaries & priorities the right way in order to become productive and maybe happier along the way

Yes, it's a mental health thing to and becoming an old fart.
Yet, it would be too easy - and in way too many times I was guilty of - laying back into not keeping myself to my own commitment. Eroding boundaries, self-esteem (aka self-trust), and ruining my or our (family) priorities.
This ends today.
I'll make a daily task to remember this and will try to make a 21-days, 100-days streak out of this until it becomes a frecking habit.
Helen

My go to is always to do 1 task that will impact today or tomorrow.
