Weeknotes, 2 June 2023

It’s been a week of ups and downs. Some frustrations at the length of time it’s taking to get budget for my team and others for training. And some more due to lack of clarity on current recruitment.

That said, I’ve made loads of progress too – transforming my frustrations into healthy actions. And also some great progress mostly with this pricing project that’s been the bulk of my work for a good few weeks. 

Content designing software plan comparison pages. Namely, working out the hierarchy of information for users. Plus, making complex tiers of a product easy for people to understand.

Documenting and some more documenting. Recording things that I want to work on in the future. Other things I need to discuss and iron out – like how content folks and designers work together in Figma. (And how Ditto Words, branches, and pages fit into that). I’ve also been sourcing and planning some frameworks for growth conversation. And with that, I’ve been documenting skills I’m keen to develop. I have somewhat chaotic handwriting so I’m glad there’s been no pen and paper in sight for this!

Getting back on track with Weeknotes. I’ve missed a couple of weeks due to bank holidays and err.. just having too much on. Weeknotes really help me reflect on the things I’ve done so I’m bummed I dropped the ball on them. They’re also a great source of ‘stuff I’ve done’ when it comes to development conversations. My mind often goes blank when trying to think of examples of work I’ve shared. Not if they’re here on the Internet. That’s the plan…
