What went well?

Wrote up my thoughts on my daily personal stand-up.

Went for a walk.

What didn’t go so well?

Can’t think of a name for the app.

What could I do differently in the future?

Get a process in place for branding ideas since I often struggle with naming projects and products.

210305

What went well?

Made some progress on what a complete digital safeguarding solution looks like.

What didn’t go so well?

Not working on days I’m off work.

What could I do differently in the future?

Not arrange or accept meetings on my days off.

210304

What went well?

Finished some documents to share knowledge with other teams and get some decisions.

What didn’t go so well?

Not being able to coordinate a particular piece of work satisfactorily to make it move fast enough.

What could I do differently in the future?

I could have taken more control earlier perhaps.

210303

What went well?

Mocked-up a booking page to test allowing young people to book meetings.

Agreed some digital safeguarding solutions.

What didn’t go so well?

Getting others to focus on simplicity.

Found an issue in one of safeguarding solutions.

What could I do differently in the future?

It’s part of a bigger problem, so it’ll take some time, but more public guidance and reiterating the goal.

210302

What went well?

Wrote a solution document in quick smart time.

Was asked to do another Digital Charity talk.

What didn’t go so well?

Wasn’t able to meet some expectations at work.

What could I do differently in the future?

Not sure. I feel I’ve been clear about the stakeholders not wanting the solutions.

210301

What went well?

Started to uncover some problems with a new project so we can solve them.

What didn’t go so well?

Didn’t get any work done this evening.

What could I do differently in the future?

Accept that it’s ok to have an evening off.

210228

What went well?

Sent my second ‘Read Recently’ thread on Twitter.

Got some good feedback on my charity meetup talk and finished writing it.

What didn’t go so well?

Didn’t have enough time to go for a proper walk (only a quick one).

Kinda got chased out of dodge (such is the life of a nomad).

What could I do differently in the future?

Not say ‘yes’ to so many things, or accept that it means not doing other things.

Don’t stay in one place too long.

210227

What went well?

Started a Service Design short course with UAL.

Communication platform switch feels like progress in the right direction.

Wrote most of my talk for a charity meetup.

Got an offer to work with me on developing a daily journaling app.

What didn’t go so well?

Still can’t figure out the best way to organise my roadmap, planner, notes.

What could I do differently in the future?

A bit more focus on writing the talk might have got me further, especially as I need to give myself time to practice.

210226

What went well?

Interesting chats about where capabilities exist in organisations and how breaking process and shifting capabilities to people helps organisations deal with change and uncertainty.

What didn’t go so well?

Playback of a solution design to a stakeholder who decided not to go ahead with the solution.

What could I do differently in the future?

Maybe a different approach to engaging with a new stakeholder, more talking first rather than my usual approach of creating something to talk about.
