@Carissa and I have been working multiple threads on FBM to organize all our conversations, with the format: <emoji of the category> <Title of the group> (<name of the category>)
Our categories are:
- meta:
(gc: Time Sensitive, Communication, Meeting Agenda)
- general:
(gc: Relationship, Under the Covers, The Loop, With Children, en français, Everything (Else))
-
ongoing:
(gc: Productivity, Finances, Food)
- logistics:
(gc: Home, Georgia, Mexico, Quebec, The Great Unknowns, Bay Area, Puerto Rico)
- family:
(gc: Social Media EMPIRE, Lifelogging & Lifestreaming & Quantified Selves, Atypical Family Podcast)
- assistants:
(gc: Overseeing Assistants, All Assistants, Mariana, Rubí)
And our convos have beautiful images generated with Midjourney, either from a query made by Carissa or otherwise found by Carissa.
And that had been working great! The emoji makes it easy to find at a glance and the tag makes it easy to search in find the thread in FBM (and not forget about a thread we have).
We can make progress on several threads without getting loss in messages, and with making it easy to search for messages about a specific topic, all while using FBM.
However, we’ve also been finding it distracting at times, and what sometimes is meant as a short text conversation unintentionally turns out into a much longer discussion.
So we’re now experimenting with only using the time sensitive thread, and avoiding all other discussions unless we’re in a container explicitly for that. So far I’ve been liking it a lot — I don’t know if it’s just the pendulum swinging back too far in the other direction or if we’ll stabilize around this new system.
to write in sentences:
potential loss of value:
being observed by Alton
being observed by our future children
maybe can be replaced by shared notes we take during meetings? or sharing our meetings?
