WHAT SOME FOLKS IN BASB USE
Since Cohort 12 of Building a Second Brain (BASB), a “Paper People” interest group was started where folks shared their notebook and journal preferences as part of a topic thread. While there are many other notebooks and journals, consider this a snapshot of the in-alphabetical-order shares from folks.

I have been journaling since the early ‘80s, perhaps the natural evolution of having a diary during high school. And like many others, I have done (and occasionally still dabble) Morning Pages.

“Hello!” to those who also share paper planner and calendaring tools. Show, tell, and share. Off-the-shelf planners + calendars and DIY approaches - I’ve used both.

Since 1981 during college, a paper calendar, planner, and some form of task tracking has occupied my purse, tote, or backpack. … bounced between other planner brands and DIY approaches cobbling a weekly calendar and notebook …

This is part one of two essays, as I explore one of my 12 favorite questions about mortality - Where grief is inevitable, how does its value enrich one’s life? Do you have a living trust or will?

My tears fell on the Southwest Airline infographics as I obliged the flight attendant's perfunctory safety lecture. On April 17, 2002, my sister-in-law called to tell me my Dad died unexpectedly. A heart attack. My Mom, a retired registered nurse, revived him briefly before the ambulance arrived. 

Code blue at the hospital. My brother was with Dad when he died. 

This is a kick-off of a series of essays to explore workspace environments, beginning with lived experiences of unfair and unjust treatment.

Everett is African-American. As a Filipino-American woman, it’s difficult to comprehend the institutional and aversive racism he experiences, so I commiserate. I can only fully understand my own lived experiences of workspace inequities.

The first time I did this was in May 2019, during the first cohort of Write of Passage. I’m retaking the course, as I type. I’ve updated my 12 favorite problems.

The problems over the past years have, as a majority, been the same. (previous post) This round, I have updated or replaced a few problems, and I added the first word that came to mind that is part characteristic of the problem.

“Honey – finding Prince Charming, your Soul Mate, or whatever you wanna to call him, requires emotional and spiritual capital. At least that’s what Oprah and Dr. Phil say. But in my opinion, it’s a lot simpler than that – it’s just a numbers game. You gotta start somewhere, somehow, with a first date. And now that you’re free from corporate America, it’s all about the NEW you! Focus on yourself and your love life.” I looked at him, fidgeted and pulled back my shoulders. “That’s better, Sweetie. And unbutton your sweater a l’il bit if you decide that you like him. All men appreciate cleavage! Even I do. See you later!”

As part of Linking Your Thinking (LYT) Workshop 8 onboarding and welcoming process, I took the PKM Planet survey again. From previous workshops, my September 2021 and February 2022 results of my Thinking Style and Thinking Drivers are included for ease of comparison with my June 2022 results. I’ve added briefs on my Thinking Patterns, also part of the PKM Planet survey results.

TL;dr - My thinking style and thinking drivers remains the same.

Workshop 8 of Linking Your Thinking (LYT) has started welcoming and onboarding folks in advance of the first Super Session on Tuesday, June 14 at 9:00am (PDT)/16:00 UTS. During LYT 8, I will serve among a group of Facilitators helping students wayfind throughout the workshop.

My first LYT was in Cohort 4a (Sept 2021). Onboarding eventually includes completing a PKM Planet survey, based on Nick Milo’s (creator and founder of LYT) PKM Planet explained in this video. Therefore, the first time I took the survey was in September 2021 for Cohort 4a, then again as part of the previous LYT Workshop 7 in February 2022. Here is a comparison of the results.
