Airtable

What I've learned over the years is that the most important thing to do when I realize a project is late is to:

1. Come up with a revised estimate of the task
2. Notify all relevant parties with #1 (E.M., PM, x-function partners, etc.)
3. Tell the people #2 "I messed up, here's what I will do in planning next time to avoid this planning mishap next time". This step especially builds a lot of trust

What other tips do you have?

I was watching a video from a well known note-taking influencer/teacher and was curious what everyone used for note taking. In addition- how do you approach note taking?

For me:

• Approach:
  • Everything should be based on keyword search
  • I use tags to organize by project GTD style if need be
  • "Librarian style" (see video above)- clip all sorts of things without too much regard to storing
• Implementation
  • Use evernote for personal notes
  • For personal projects, use Google docs if I need friends to comment (I would prefer quip or paper, but the reality is that the most important thing is to NOT have to inconvenience ppl with new account creation)
  • For structured data, I use Airtable.
    • If I need to display the data in a public way, embed on Medium (see for example
    • If I need to display the data in a semi public way, use Notion's site functionality (not ideal, I would like to ideally embed Airtable within google docs- Quip/Dropbox Paper allows for that)
