How I Use MeisterTask to Increase My Productivity as a Freelance Writer - Focus
How I Use MeisterTask to Increase My Productivity as a Freelance Writer - Focus My Week at a Glance Self-employed freelancers wear many hats; weâre the boss, employee, accountant, bookkeeper, customer service, project manager⦠the list goes on. We need a good organizational system to keep everything in check. MeisterTask is the one that works best for me, and Iâm here to share how. I love being organized. Thereâs something about sitting at my desk and knowing exactly what needs doing, where to do it and what steps to take first that makes life so much more peaceful. Especially since it wasnât always this way. In 2015, I made the switch from office life to a self-employed, freelance-writing life. While I was able to stay on top of things, I quickly learned that my organizational system of scattered post-it notes and various physical lists wasnât going to cut it anymore. What worked in an office environment didnât translate into the freelance writing environment. This discovery led me down an organizational rabbit hole. I researched and tried project management apps and programs. For a while, I managed by using multiple different programs. But nothing really fit with my organizational style. That is, until I found MeisterTask. MeisterTask combines the project management functions I love with to do lists, calendar syncs and so many other functions I hadnât realized I needed. Now, I use MeisterTask literally every day and Iâve streamlined my process to increase productivity. In this article, Iâm going to share with you how I do that. Stay ProductiveSimple task management for freelancers Try MeisterTask Its free! Try MeisterTask My Week at a Glance MeisterTask allows me to easily assess, at a glance, whatâs going on during any given week. This means I can schedule appointments and meetings for âslowâ days well in advance. That being said, there is one day every week that I really reap the organizational rewards⦠and that is Monday. Mondays Before MeisterTask, I used to spend a good chunk of each Monday going through various post-it notes, lists, organizational apps and project management apps to sort out the weekâs work. This process took two to three hours. Now, I spend less than an hour reviewing my workload. My Monday Morning Routine: Review the automation notifications. Check my iCalendar. Write my weekâs work into my day planner to-do list. Assess my work load per day. Set the dayâs tasks. Get to work. The fourth step ?â" assess ?â" is essential. After nearly three years of working with this system, I know exactly how many task cards I can complete in a day. Mondays are the day I divvy up the tasks so that no single day is overloaded⦠and no single day is too light on work. Daily Every morning, I review my work load and add the dayâs tasks, in order of priority, to the âMy Checklistâ. This gives me a quick reference throughout the day while I work, so I track my progress. Often times, my projects have multiple steps that take place over many days (sometimes weeks!), so even if I complete a task that day, the card remains to haunt me. The âMy Checklistâ function also allows me the supreme satisfaction of checking off a completed task, even if all Iâm really doing is moving the card to the next âwork on thisâ day. Weekâs End I review any incomplete task cards and, if they arenât urgent, move them to Monday. Sometimes, Iâll have to work over the weekend. Luckily, this happens less and less (proof that an efficient organizational system is very good for your health⦠and social life). Thatâs what a typical organized week looks like for me. Time to dig into the nitty gritty of my MeisterTask setup. Projects Having all my projects listed on the MeisterTask dashboard means itâs easy to find specific assignments and task cards. Of course, it helps that I have organized everything in a way that makes sense to me. Project Groups My projects are divided into four âProject Groupsâ: Freelance Business, Active Clients, Personal Projects, and Inactive Clients. The Freelance Business group is where I keep my administrative and business operations projects. As it turns out, running your own at-home business requires a lot of different administrative and marketing tasks, like invoicing, social media posts, blogging, searching for new clients, keeping track of rates⦠and so much more. I put all these hats in this project group, so I never miss an important step. The Active Clients project group is where I keep all my, you guessed it, active clients. Each client gets their own âprojectâ, with the appropriate sections and task cards. When a client becomes inactive, but hasnât yet closed their contract with me, I move them to my âInactive Clientsâ group (I only archive a client when they close the contract). This way I keep all the organizational structure, without cluttering up my project list. Finally, the âPersonal Projectsâ group is where I keep all my, well, personal projects. I really do use MeisterTask to keep chaos out of all aspects of my life ⦠I even planned my wedding with MeisterTask! Workflow In my experience, clients come in two types: Those with multiple repeat projects and assignments; and What I call âsingle projectâ clients, who have a single assignment for me at any given time. I use the pre-set MeisterTask workflow for âsingle projectâ clients. Once assigned, the task card goes in the âOpenâ section. Then I move it to âIn Progressâ while Iâm working on it. When the client approves the work, I move it to âDoneâ (where itâs automatically marked complete). My workflow is a bit different for âmulti-projectâ clients. My clients CiT and QM often have multiple types of assignments across different departments and categories. For them, I label each section with the department/category name. CiT, for example, has two different locations. Their assignments are split into three categories: location A, location B and Corporate. So, I named my sections as follows: When an assignment comes in, I create a task card with all the notes and details, including the deadline and a âsteps to completeâ checklist. Then I set the âdue dateâ (aka the day I will work on the assignment). I update the card as I complete the steps, only marking it complete when the whole assignment is done. While CiT and QM are set up much the same way, there is one workflow difference. QM, which stands for Quench Magazine, has 11 sections to CiTâs four. Among the many projects are online articles ?â" hereâs the workflow for those: Create the task card in appropriate section. Work on project as per usual and submit. Move task card to my âSubmittedâ section, where itâs automatically marked âCompleteâ. Keep the card in that section, checking online for the article to appear. Archive once article is published. This workflow easily tracks when the articles are published online and ensures that none of them are left as drafts. Admittedly, my setup isnât so much a âworkFLOWâ as a âcards turn orange on the day I plan to work on themâ system. It works for me, though! Plus the task cards themselves record timestamps whenever changes are made, so if I ever need to know where I stand on a project, I can just read through the notes, comments and timestamps. Checklists I love checklists. No really. Iâd make lists for everything if I could. I have a lot of different checklists ?â" one for every recurring project I am assigned. MeisterTaskâs multiple checklists feature allows me to save assignment-specific lists. Since my workflow is set up in such a way that the âdue dateâ on the card is the âday Iâm going to work on the assignmentâ, that means that each new due date responds to a different item on my checklist. For example, Product Reviews have five different steps: Request sample; Follow up; Receive sample; Write the review; and Prepare the article in the backend. There is no way I can complete all of these in a single day. So I set the task card due date for the first step, then change the due date for each subsequent step. Automations MeisterTask automations are a key time-saving function. While I have used MeisterTaskâs multiple checklists feature since I first signed up, I am new to automations. Iâm may not be using them to their fullest potential ?â" I discover a new one almost daily. The two I very much love are âRecurring Taskâ and âAdd Checklistâ. I have recurring tasks set to populate on Mondays, with the task cards pre-set with the due date. For example, QM has multiple weekly social media campaigns. Their task cards appear every Monday, with the due date set for later that week. I can then switch the day that I work on specific projects, based on my workload for that week. Another automation Iâve come to appreciate is the âSet Statusâ automation. I use âMark Completeâ on QMâs âSubmittedâ section, and the âDoneâ section of Single Project Clients and CP. Tasks Creating a standard or template for how you keep track of content and create task cards goes a long way to keep your productivity levels high. So, now itâs time to get to the specific âcardâ features and how I use them. In my mind, there are two types of tasks: one-time tasks and recurring tasks. One-time Tasks I create these cards the moment I receive the assignment. This allows me to record the details right away ?â" including the due date ?â" and add any stray thoughts I have when Iâm not actively working on the project. Inspiration tends to strike at odd moments, so having the card ready means all my ideas are recorded no matter when I get them. Recurring Tasks As I mentioned above, I use the âRecurring Taskâ automation to make these. I did want to share how I used to manage recurring tasks before I had automations (itâs pretty basic). On the taskâs checklist, I included a final step âDuplicate cardâ. When I completed the rest of the steps, I would then do that final step âduplicate the cardâ, mark the old one as complete and edit the new one to reflect the next weekâs assignment. Easy peasy. Now to break down the components of a card: Assigned to: I work alone, so my name always appears here. When I was planning my wedding, I did assign some tasks to my sister, who was helping me. The only task cards that are different are non-action cards, like my Info Cards, which arenât assigned to anyone. Notes: This is where I put all the details ie. deadline, contact details, etc. I have when I first learn about the assignment. I also add details, thoughts and ideas here as I work on it. Checklist: I have standard checklists for repeat assignment types; they each have specific steps and loading them to the appropriate task cards is easy. Date/time: I set the date as the âwork on itâ day, rather than the due date. When Iâm feeling especially disorganized, I will take a few minutes to set the âtimesâ on my task cards, so that they appear in my iCalendar in a more coherent way. Usually I donât get that specific, but sometimes it helps keep me from stressing out. Tags: I used tags once upon a time⦠now I donât. So I usually leave this empty. Relations: When an assignment has more steps than I can manage in one task card, I divide it into parts. For example, this Guest Blog had a âResearchâ step, an âOutlineâ step, and a âWritingâ step, each with âsub-stepsâ. I created a task card for each steps and added their âsub-stepsâ as checklists. Finally, I set the relations so that Research blocked Outline, which blocked Writing. This gave me a really great visual indicator of what needed to be done when I sat down to work on it. Attachments: As someone who works alone, I donât often have to use the attachments part of the card. That being said, I can see how useful this is for group work collaborators can easily access the documents and links this way. Comments: I use these a lot for my product reviews. When I test a product, I write my notes in the comments and then, when I write the article, I can easily copy-paste my notes into the draft. Remember, you donât have to set your cards up the way I have! It just has to be consistent across all your tasks. When everything appears the same way, in an easy-to-understand manner, you wonât waste time decoding your notes, or the assignment itself. You can open the task and get right to work. Syncs Perks One benefit of being a self-employed freelance writer is the ability to work from literally anywhere with internet access. While I can manage without my organizational system ?â" I did before! ?â" MeisterTaskâs apps mean I donât have to. I have the mobile app on my phone and tablet, and I use the Mac app when Iâm at my desk. This accessibility makes it very easier to jot down thoughts for projects as they come ?â" so if I do have a middle-of-the-night, lightbulb moment, I donât have to physically get up to write it down. I can just type it out on my phone, on the appropriate task, and itâll be there for me in the morning. Due Today List There were two driving factors for my initial switch to MeisterTask way back in 2017. One was the âlist by due dateâ function on the dashboard, where all task cards appeared in order of due date. (They introduced the âMy Checklistâ function later, and when they did I may or may not have squealed in excitement.) Previous project management apps I tried made me look at the task cards project by project, which meant I spent a lot of time combing through each client project page and finding the highlighted âdue todayâ tasks. Calendar Sync The second driving factor for me was the Calendar sync. I have my iCal synced across all of my devices ?â" desktop, phone, tablet ?â" so having my tasks all appear in that app, where my personal events and family events are recorded, is ⦠very convenient. I do want to note that MeisterTask DOES have their own calendar function (found through the Statistics Reports link). It only appears in a web browser though, so not as convenient when youâre on a device rather than a computer ?â" but they donât force me to use it, which is nice. Files Attachments I have linked my MeisterTask account with Google Drive so I can attach the appropriate documents and easily find all my work. As I mentioned above, I donât often attach files to my task cards. But when I do, I use the Google Drive integration. Stay Organized; Be Productive Itâs been almost three years since I activated my MeisterTask account. This is, by far, the longest Iâve used any single program management or organizational platform. Iâm always looking for ways to be more efficient, more organized and MeisterTask allows me to do that. I do, and will continue to, recommend MeisterTask to anyone looking for an organizational app⦠with one piece of advice: always remember that âbeing organizedâ looks different to everyone. My system, how I use MeisterTask, works really well for me. I hope that it has inspired you and given you some ideas of how to make the most of your MeisterTask account. If it hasnât, thatâs ok! You go out there, and find what works for you. Experiment, play around with the different functions, and make the most of the tools available, so you can live your most productive life.

Reparations For Slavery Slavery - 1218 Words
Reparations for Slavery? Harriet Tubman once said, ââ¬Å"Now I ve been free, I know what a dreadful condition slavery is. I have seen hundreds of escaped slaves, but I never saw one who was willing to go back and be a slave.â⬠What is a reparation? A reparation is the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged. The biggest question of time is should African Americans receive payments for slavery? Many people would say yes with no hesitation, but to a surprise many people would also say no. As a young black female, people think you should be for reparations for slavery, but that isnââ¬â¢t the case.

Todayââ¬â¢s problems happen because of ignorance, and sometime out of pure hate. Yes, slavery plays a factor in it, but it is not the main factor in why there are so much wrong in the world. For the U.S government to pay for slavery when there is so much more wrong doing that occurred is just plain out unfair. Syria isnââ¬â¢t being bombed because slavery happened. Black men and women are not dropping out of school because slavery happened. People are not homeless and hungry because slavery happened. Too often people use slavery as an excuse to what is happening today. So, what is the real reason for reparations? Many people may question why blacks need payments for slavery when slavery was over 150 years ago. There were about 12.5 million slaves, which means the number of descendantââ¬â¢s doubles. To pay people for slavery, the government would need to find each descendant and begin paying them. The bigger question is which descendant would the pay, and how many would you pay as well as for how long.

A Beautiful Mind Free Essays
Mental illness and mental disorders have plagued individuals for many years before the development of the psychiatric community embraced the challenges of treatment with understanding.à It can be assumed that everyone has had an encounter with someone who is mentally ill at some point in their life. Stereotypical images of those with mental disorders encompass the erroneous image of a filthy homeless individual viewed talking aloud to some imaginary person or thing. We will write a custom essay sample on A Beautiful Mind or any similar topic only for you Order Now à Other images depict the mentally ill individual ranting and raving like some ravenous animal with wild eyes and an animal-like posture. These images are poor portrayals of the mentally disturbed often created by Hollywood as a means to keep viewers entertained.à Contrary to popular belief, a mentally ill person looks just like any other human being despite some peculiarities, however, in the society of today, anyone could be mentally ill. Background The Hollywood motion picture, A Beautiful Mind, was directed a documental-like story of an actual world renowned mathematician named John Nash (Grazer Howard, 2001).à Nash was born in West Virginia and later went on to attend graduate school at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. He was then twenty-one years old.à Throughout his secondary academic career, Nash remained somewhat unsociable and preoccupied with his research and coursework.à He did not appear to have much time for dating or socializing with members of the opposite sex either. Nashââ¬â¢s competitive nature served as a driving force for his academic research and achievements.à His economic theories and studies enabled him to win appointments and academic recognition through much of his time while studying at Princeton University.à While his mathematic theories would leave a reasonable person ultimately dumbfounded and confused, PSYCHOLOGY it became like a second language to Nash.à Simple tasks like games became too complicated for him to participate in (Grazer Howard, 2001).à If it did not equate into a mathematical equation, then in Nashââ¬â¢s thinking, it could not be logical or proven to be absolute. Nash later met a woman, Alicia, while teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).à Over a period of time, the two began dating and later married.à Together they would have one child, a son, named John.à During the course of their marriage, Nash would become more and more distant.à He would blame the distance on his work and research. Analysis Psychological Symptoms Friends began to notice that his personal hygiene was lacking in the area of care and presentation.à He would regularly forget to shave, his shirts would not be tucked in properly, and his hair would be stringy and unwashed. He began walking with a noticed shuffle while simultaneously clutching his briefcase tightly against his chest as though it bore protection.à He socially disconnected from his colleagues by informing them that his research was classified (Grazer Howard, 2001).à Worst of all, he started forgetting that he was required to teach a class at MIT, and he would often not show up. During Nashââ¬â¢s time studying at Princeton University, he became good friends with his roommate.à He would meet up with his old college chum several times over the course of the following years.à It would later be revealed that Nash had no roommate at Princeton University, but rather he was assigned to a dormitory and resided alone the entire time (Grazer Howard, 2001). The imagined roommate was a hallucination (American Psychiatric Association, 1994). à How to cite A Beautiful Mind, Papers A Beautiful Mind Free Essays I enjoyed many things from the film A Beautiful Mind including the cast, the interpretations of being schizophrenic, and also the small amount of romance between John and Alicia. Think that the cast was very well picked, Russell Crower did an outstanding job portraying a man with schizophrenia. I could tell that Crower was eve comfortable with this role, considering how well he portrayed John Nash. We will write a custom essay sample on A Beautiful Mind or any similar topic only for you Order Now When I think about John Nash and his awkward, yet sophisticated, rationality Russell Crower really does justice to John Nash. Also, the cast for the other students, Johnââ¬â¢s peers, were well picked out also. All of the other students were intelligent and also a little cocky which makes sense as to why they donââ¬â¢t accept John. I also enjoyed the interpretations of being schizophrenic. It is very interesting going into the mind of John Nash and seeing the people that only he sees, and hearing the voices that only he hears. Lastly enjoyed how the film had a little spark of romance between John and Alicia, but that the entire film wasnââ¬â¢t about the romance, and love. The film was more about John and his brilliance than his love life. My only dislike for this film is that it was slowly moving. L, personally, enjoy movies that can invest myself in and really feel the characters. I could not relate to any of the characters considering they are all brilliant. Johns Annaââ¬â¢s second grade teacher tells Nash that he had been given two helpings of brain but only one helping of heart, I think that she means that he would stop putting math and science before how he is really feeling and that he should try to make friends and be more in-touch with others. As said before I really enjoyed Russell Crowââ¬â¢s portrayal of schizophrenia. I thought that it was very believable, from what I have seen, and was interesting whenever he would have schizophrenic fits around other students. The scariest part of schizophrenia for me is seeing things that others cannot. People with schizophrenia do not know if what theyââ¬â¢re seeing is real or fake, and that is scary.

Iv Therapy Essay Example
Iv Therapy Essay Intravenous therapy or IV therapy is when a patient is given liquid substances directly into a vein. The word intravenous means within a veinâ⬠. Therapies administered intravenously are often called specialty pharmaceuticals. IV therapy is commonly referred to as a drip because many of the ways it is administered use a drip chamber, which prevents air entering the blood stream and allows an idea of how much is flowing in to your body. Compared with other ways of administration the intravenous route is the fastest way to deliver fluids and medications throughout the body. Some medications, as well as blood transfusions and lethal injections, can only be given intravenously. The simplest form of IV therapy is given through a hypodermic needle. This kind of needle is hollow and allows for the drip to be administered directly to the vein. The needle can be directly attached to a syringe or even to tubing that may be attached to a drip of whatever medication is needed. The needle is usually put into a peripheral vein, this is any vein not in the chest or abdomen. Any easily accessible vein can be used but most commonly veins in the hand or arm are used.

Central IV lines flow through a catheter with its tip within a large vein, usually the superior vena cava, or inferior vena cava, or within the right atrium of the heart. This has several advantages over a peripheral IV. It can deliver fluids and medications that would be too irritating to peripheral veins because of their concentration or chemical composition. These include some chemotherapy drugs. Medications reach the heart immediately, and are quickly distributed to the rest of the body. However central IVââ¬â¢s run a higher risk of giving you an infection, causing bleeding, and possibly even causing gangrene. A common reason to be hooked up to an IV is for dehydration therapy. Those unable or unwilling to drink or who have repetitive vomiting can receive fluid replacement IV. You are hooked up to a drip and your fluids and electrolytes are replaced through the IV in your hand or arm. There are two types of fluids that are used for intravenous drips; crystalloids and colloids. Crystalloids are aqueous solutions of mineral salts or other water-soluble molecules. Colloids contain larger insoluble molecules, such as gelatin; blood itself is a colloid. The most commonly used crystalloid fluid is normal saline, a solution of sodium chloride at 0. 9% concentration, which is close to the concentration in the blood. Ringerââ¬â¢s lactate or Ringers acetate is another isotonic solution often used for large-volume fluid replacement. A solution of 5% dextrose in water, sometimes called D5W, is often used instead if the patient is at risk for having low blood sugar or high sodium. The choice of fluids may also depend on the chemical properties of the medications being given.

Sample Timber Sale Contract Template
Sample Timber Sale Contract Template After your potential timber sale has been shown and all bids are received, you should notify the highest acceptable bidder and arrange to execute a written timber contract. Use the sample template below only to flesh out the first draft of your contract. The information you collect in the draft process will be used so thisà exerciseà is not wasted effort. Always have it reviewed by both a forester and a lawyer, and abide by their suggestions for changes and fine-tuning. à A word of warning: always be careful when using a sample timber sale contract. Do not duplicate it word for word. Its easy to copy an example thinking that it will cover all of your conditions, but in many cases, it will not be adequate. Here are a few reasons below: State forestry and environmental laws differ and a contract should be specifically written to reflect those differences.Conditions of the sale are never the same from one situation to the next. These conditions should be customized in every contract.Property located in and around the sale area may be subject to damage. Language in the contract should indicate penalties if damage to that particular property should occur.Your legal ownership status- individual, partnership, or corporate- may not be the same from one sale to the next and should be implied through the contract.
