The soft skills you need to lead and succeed in a networked world. This includes: professional learning network, content curation for self-directed learning and professional development, professional learning networks, personal branding, training your attention, self-care and management, managing up and down.
I just discovered that one of the better curators is also a manual list maker. That is - not using the online tools to make to do lists, but writing it out on paper.
I found that doing too much of my work online line - with hands on the keyboard and eyes on the monitor gets me into a distracted space. But, when I write down a list or the bullet points as this method points out. I'm all of sudden more focused!
Bullet Journaling is a simplified manual method to organize, plan and archive all of your most important life activities, meetings and things you want to do with just pen and paper.
Forget Evernote or Asana, this is only for those who really crave for staying away from the digital tools - at least for this task - and who love to "curate" by hand their daily tasks and future activities, while maintaining a useful paper track of it all.
I am one of them.
As you can read on the Bullet Journal home page: "For the list-makers, the note-takers, the Post-It note pilots, the track-keepers, and the dabbling doodlers.
Bullet journal is for those who feel there are few platforms as powerful as the blank paper page.
It’s an analog system for the digital age that will help you organize the present, record the past, and plan for the future."
Bullet Journaling, invented by Ryder Carroll, is a way to organize on paper your personal (or professiomal) life, not a way to "curate" your life or experiences.
But it is from the keen ability to organize and put things in order that a curator can then extract and identify what has been of value and what not.
For this reason I am looking at Bullet Journaling not jut as a way of curating your life priorities but also as a good example of the curator's best spirit and attitude:
manual
attentive to detail
capable of looking both at the individual item and the at the whole
always updating, questioning, reviewing
ready to categorize on-the-fly
looking forward and looking back
The reference web site is a destination worth checking out. Made just of one long page, organized into sections, it offers a complete how-to manual on getting started immediately with bullet-journaling.
In the beginning there was paper. In between the to do list systems and GTD platforms, there was paper. All the productive people I meet have a strong affinity with paper lists and systems, even if they play fast and loose on occasion with Evernote et al.
Could this chap have the answer? Well, I will give it a try, why don't you too. We have nothing to lose but the chaos.
