Dear Work Therapist ... how much is too much?

Liam Green

Dear Work Therapist

Is there such a thing as too much Atlassian?

I'm worried it is spilling over into my personal life... I keep thinking of ways I can use JWM out of work. It is wrong to try and suggest to my fiancée that we use it to plan the wedding (asking for a friend!)

Should I think about asking family members to submit contact requests through a JSM portal?

My dreams now come in 2 week sprints, with a massive backlog - do I see a doctor about this?

Please help!

I know the feeling, ive been dreaming in JIRA lately.

Matt Doar_tzgiej

My answer is "yes". I do the dreaming about solving problems thing too. But the hardest part is swapping out of the "everything is a task" way of thinking, back into family time. There is no need for a task for eating dinner.

And I'm pretty sure there are other people who have used Jira to plan their weddings. I would imagine the problems come if you assign tasks to the other person without discussing it properly

.......Now im considering building a project called wedding and building a workflow for the best man and other staff.

Liam Green

Use the JWM forms to capture the food requests and allergies of all the guests.

Not quite sure what automation you'd need - but sure we could come up with something!

Trey Washmon

This feels like a team project guys, whose in?

Bridget_822i4b

LOL - my wedding is next summer and now I am seriously considering using JWM to plan it 😂

Christine P. Dela Rosa

Depends on how you define "Atlassian" wink . Is it the continuous improvement angle, because if so, keep fueling my tank with that!

A couple gems to share on that note:

For what it's worth, I've used Trello to plan a vacation with a friend and have worked through a writing project with Confluence. And I'm not mad about it

Liam Green

Congrats! And go for it. Let me know how you get on and if its successful I can suggest it to my better half

Trey Washmon

Hahaha, thats awesome, congrats! I think you should! i bet it would be funny to present at the very least!

Jack Brickey

Personally I would use JSM here because then your family members could be non-paying customers! wink

Hi @Liam Green I have a colleague who has Jira on his own home server instance for maybe 10 years.

He collects all the bills there, he plans everything there with his wife...

I think it can work if your fiancée and friends are not resistant to it... I think it can be the worst part .

Liam Green

I like the idea of a family portal!

Liam Green

I think logging all your bills is a great idea

Dave LIAO

@Liam Green - I've had many a work dream, but never a Jira dream. But tonight may be the night! 😂

Kishan Sharma

@Liam Green I know just how you feel, please do share when you find an answer to this question.

Liam Green

You never know!!

Liam Green

I'm not sure we'll ever have an answer! I say just embrace the Jira and let it wash over your life!

Hana Kučerová

Hi @Liam Green ,

the more I use, the more I love it :-).

I would use it! You know these systems and you won't need to test any other, because in the end you will probably need some tool for management.

I wish you a wonderful wedding and that you enjoy it as much as all your guests!

Liam Green

@Hana Kučerová

Thank you!

We're a long way off - haven't actually set a date yet, but I guess it is never too early to start the planning!

Hana Kučerová

@Liam Green So, that means you've got plenty of time to show your fiancée, how does Jira work :-)))

giphy

Liam Green

She already uses it for work so she will either be completely on board or will veto the idea straight away!

Dave LIAO

One of my associates has a personal JSM portal for her family!

Paloma Fondon Araujo

Hi @Liam Green

hahaha, I think you could use Trello to make the wedding plan!!!! I've used it for soooo many things...

Personally I think that I also extrapolate many things from atlassian to my daily life, even the school girls' schedules I have them on a trello board... I love it 💙!!

Liam Green

Hi @Paloma Fondon Araujo

I must admit, I don't really use Trello - so I don't think I'd trust it for my wedding... I might suggest it to my fiancée though.

I think the products do actually adapt really well to everyday life - especially for planning, etc.

Liam Green

She may well be my idol!!

Brant Schroeder

@Liam Green I would recommend moderation in all things. As far as being organized by using awesome software for your wedding I would recommend going for it. Congrats by the way.

Liam Green

Thanks Brant - I think I'm going to put something together to present to her!

Linda Milne_Togetha Group_

Nah, go with it. Embrace your inner geek ... or even your outer geek.

Liam Green

To be honest - I think you're completely right here! I love my (and my fiancée's) geekyness!

Alex Koxaras -Relational-

LOL!

That was hilarious! But other than that I totally feel you

There was a time that I was sleeping, eating, and drinking Jira. It was like a virus inside your head!

Liam Green

Thanks @Alex Koxaras -Relational-

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

nina_schmidt

@Liam Green that is scary but awesome at the same time :-) ... and familiar

Vero Rivas

Hi @Liam Green

I understand your feeling, the same thing has happened to me in a time of my life, jajajaja

Atlassian for everything

Cheers

Tinker Fadoua

All I can tell you @Liam Green welcome to my world! Between the Atlassian Community and ScriptRunner many times I find myself in bed thinking about one of the two.

Fabian Lim

Someone wanted to plan their wedding in jira cloud on a free version recently and I told them not to do it because you would have to spend so much time onboarding people (wedding party), but I would like to hear how it went with you.

Congrats
