Currently, find my next career move.

When I'm not at work I lift weights and play the piano.

@corymccabefilms I've always had a custom Windows machine for editing and a Macbook, iPhone, and iPad for everything else.

Are you running Final Cut or Adobe Premiere Pro?

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@JCutrell It kind of reminds me of “System 1” and “System 2.” I think doing and deciding are completely different headspace’s.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@JCutrell I honestly don’t remember who I got it from, but I love writing everything out the night before and time blocking. It actualizes what I need to get done.

Specifically, it went from writing ideas out > adding todo list > adding to calendar.

I’ve done this for years.

@BrittanyInATX * Checks Germany off of travel list * 🤷‍♂️

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@corymccabefilms I brain dump everything into Todoist an hour or so before I go to bed. It signals that I’m done for the day.

@LinkedInHelp Awesome! Again, LinkedIn isn't new, but I think it's slept on as a platform. Most of the time I've spent on LinkedIn is valuable, unlike other job boards.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@LinkedIn please make your job search tab more efficient. I'll comment on some ideas to make it better too.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@JCutrell @mattturck @DeveloperTea Big fan of Jonathan and I'm not even a developer. Just general good self-improvement advice.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@FullHarbor Absolutely, Austin!

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

It's not all hate. I'm learning a ton right now, and LinkedIn is better than other job sites. But I'm frustrated most by the things above and the notifications for pointless things. Otherwise, it's a great platform. LinkedIn Learning is great too.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

Fourthly, the Salary range needs to be retooled. I should be able to put any salary not just 40,000+ or 60,000.+ If I'm looking for jobs that are $50,000. I should be able to search for that.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

Thirdly, please make it easier to report companies that post fake remote jobs. It wastes everyone's time and I come across those posts daily. If they do it too much they should get banned (temporarily) from LinkedIn.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

Secondly, I should be able to block spammy companies from the job boards for me personally.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

I should be able to search for jobs from all of the companies I follow. After all, those are companies I care about and would want to work for anyway.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@FullHarbor Feel the same way about Astute Graphics plug-ins. ha

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@NickMilo I didn't notice any difference. I took 1 gram per day for 30 days. Maybe I underdosed for my body weight. 😕

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@FullHarbor Lastly, JamesB at @experilearning has a bunch of information on the topic. Definitely check out his YouTube channel. I'm sure there is a way to build this in Notion.

Also, congrats on the 200K! That's a huge financial achievement.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@FullHarbor @obsdmd Also, look up incremental writing. I'm sure there is a way to do that within Notion, but it's fantastic. It's conceptually similar to spaced repetition, but for expanding on the material.

I've been working on articles/ideas for months. Slowly revisiting ideas.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@FullHarbor @obsdmd I love the fact that @obsdmd is localized. The only other copy is my backup. There is something exciting about having my main writing offline.

I checked this morning. I've written 345 mini articles this year. They range from 200-8,000 words.

[Tim McGrath @imtimmc]

@charliprangley Great reminder Charli! I was just thinking the other day about the importance of having hobbies outside of work/self-development. Making time for boredom, wonder, just being human.

I used to hate the idea of “just existing.”
