Comprehensive!

I've only just started this but it's so far excellent. The topics are clear and all the activities are very interesting and relevant to me. I really liked the personality values test and how that relates to my purpose at work. I am feeling a lot more hope around my career.

Organisational Basics

This was a good introduction to strategies for developing the skills needed for good organisation. There was an emphasis on trying things to see if they work for you, rather than there being a correct answer. I also found it interesting how gaming and play can actually be really beneficial for practicing organisation skills.

Enjoying Organisational Basics so far

I have only finished Chapter 1 but really enjoy the lateral approach to thinking about being organised, and found the content interesting from a historical perspective too. I'm also getting a lot of feels (in a good way) from the content relating to my mental health and acknowledging that I'm important, so taking a little while to process that.
