Wow. I independently came up with something almost identical for identical reasons, including the checklists for months out, weeks out, day before, etc. It was mostly a coping mechanism for ADHD - before I did this I would reliably forget to do at least some of the things on my list or do them too late and become massively stressed as a result.
I also have job interview checklists, beginning / ending job checklists, repetitive admin checklists (beginning/end of month, beginning end of year, beginning/end of financial year etc...).
For all of these the checklist template is something I edit after one of these events after thinking "man, I wish I'd thought to do X" or "I wish Id thought of doing X a bit earlier than I did".
- kstrauser 1y agoThat’s exactly how I ended up doing this. Otherwise I’d be all stressed that my excitement-addled brain was forgetting something, which it inevitably was. Now I have more concrete work to do before a trip, but it’s easier and far less stressful. OMG. I showed my friends the wiki I made for a recent job hunt with details about every job, every person I talked to, a status page for “initial contact”/“recruiter screen”/“tech screw”/… etc companies, and a timeline of events. Some responded in horror. Others started taking notes. I’ve never been a PM, but I PMed the “get a job” to the extreme.
