Task & Project Management – big update
Our Task & Project Management course is, perhaps unsurprisingly, split into two sections: tasks, and project management. (To our marketing detriment, I have a tendency to name things literally.)
We just re-recorded the entire project management section. If you watched the previous version, you should watch these new videos. Start from feedback from the future.
Updated based on real-world use
Everything we produce is a result of real-world experience. I can’t teach you how do to a thing if it’s not something I do myself.
The previous projects section was the best that I knew at the time. But since releasing it late last year, I continued to refine the method. The re-recorded episodes reflect 6 months of further work, and are exactly how we run our own lives.
It’s a great update. I’m really happy with it.
Small Business System update
With the release of the Small Business System last year we introduced a new pattern. Area 50-59 Portfolio of creative outputs was an expanded area with numbers ranging from 50000 through 59999.
The extended numbering is required because you’re expected to have more than 100 ‘creative outputs’, so the usual restrictions don’t work. This numbering was always a bit weird, not least because 50-59 as a parent folder name didn’t accurately describe its contents.
Expanding the concept
This concept was originally for ‘creative outputs’, as its name says. For our type of business that’s blog posts and video course lessons. For a restaurant it might be the photo shoot for their latest Instagram campaign.
But the more we used it, the more we realised that it was a useful pattern for all work. If you have a broad Johnny.Decimal ID like 21.34 Small Business System, it gets crowded if you try to do work in there.
