Lessons Learned
I’ve already read (or listened to) all of the books from this class, but I can’t wait to go through them again to see what new nuggets I pick up this time! I see the value of the Entrepreneurial Journal and I can say that I “fell off the wagon” as far as posting in WordPress, but I always carry notebooks with me in my purse to take notes at all times. Plus I use online tools like Google Keep, Docs, Sheets, etc to take notes pretty regularly. I struggle to read text but I have a tool that I can use to read it to me if the Audible isn’t available for purchase. Long ago I started a journal for our Farm and I added to it nearly every day for a while before things started going further downhill with my health. I’m excited to get back into the practice (and reinstate my farm blog)!
Lessons Not Yet Learned
I’m looking forward to the “Life Plan” portions of the class. I have had one for many years, long before I took a similar BYUI course back in 2018. But, I can always use the new, updated information with new technologies and really dive deep into updating our plan and making sure we’re still on the right track. I love that my husband is doing this course with me so that we can be on the same page with all of our projects and plans, as we do almost everything together.
A Reference and Categorization Method
I can use the tags in WordPress to keep track of different topics within each post. That will suffice as an index as I can have WordPress automatically handle all of them for me. The great aspect of WordPress is that I can create posts on the fly from my phone or tablet at the time I’m thinking of it. They can be saved as drafts and formalized when I’m back home, at my computer, but they don’t necessarily have to be formalized at all. Separate goals or projects can have categories or tags, to better help organize them. I have so many WordPress blogs at this point that I need a centralized management system to handle all of the updates (I’m using MainWP just to keep everything working smoothly).
