 Take me to my (h)Appy Place

Thing 19 brings us back to the  (h)Appy place of Apps! This time useful apps for organising. This is a really useful task if you don't already do it. Digital organisation can be the well decorated journal and diary you always wanted. The suggestions are to use an organising app and some examples are given. I use Notion, which isn't listed as an example, but does the same thing. You can note take, import files and set up reading lists, study schedules, it's awesome. If you struggle with losing post it notes, sheets of paper and your notebook is just way too nice to actually write in - digital organisation is for you. I use mine for studying but also if I have a project that I just need to process and break down into smaller parts. I used it for a coproduction project where I needed to store a lot of things like research, guest lists, results, and planning items.

The next activity was to make a coggle mindmap. Now, coggle is not my favourite, but  I have made a basic one for Christmas Day just to show the kind of things it can be used for 

In this example I've broke down some Christmas Day planning into categories and some brief things to consider. Of course you could pictures, links to spotify playlists and shopping lists, but coggle isn't something I would use for that. It does however offer a good option for people to learn to make digital mindmaps and I will encourage others to try it along with the ones I generally use. For now though, I'll continue my own digital organisers. I should really start a Christmas planning one...
