Miscellaneous Monday - You Get a Gold Star

[Meg Holbrook]

Happy Monday and more importantly, HAPPY FEBRUARY!

This week, I'd like to challenge you to get into the community love spirit by doing two things: 

- Share one thing you accomplished last week (so we can all shower you with appreciation)

- Link an article here that has helped you and tag the person who wrote the article. 

LAST WEEK: I implemented a new mobile app for mortgage origination within my company. It's been one hell of a ride, but talk about relief that this phase of my project is over!

Article that has helped me: @Jack Brickey wrote a wonderful piece (Of which I was just the 2000th view apparently) which is a wonderful guide for new admins and users that will give you answers to some of your burning start up questions.

Good article Meg!

Last week I now have the frame built for my base cabinet that will house my sanding station....oh wait...maybe you meant more closely associated w/ work. ;-) In that case:

• I completed a pricing proposal for an OBDC logistics opportunity for 720K units annually
• I designed a new dashboard for our internal logistics software application which my engineer is now implementing
• I put the finishing touches on an on-boarding solution leveraging JSW, JSD and two add-ons (checklist and automation)
• oh and I engaged in a few dozen Community question

I'm trying to ease into 2019! ;-)

Article that has helped me: Many moons ago @Maarten Cautreels wrote a series of Becoming a Jira Search Ninja that helped me in my early days and I still reference from time to time. If you haven't consumed them I highly recommend doing so.

@Jack Brickey - even if your accomplishment last week was putting on real pants five days in a row - who am I to diminish your accomplishments? 

I'm gonna go ahead and give your list the gold star and a  "whoop. there it is"

Thank you for sharing and hurray @Maarten Cautreels for a super helpful article!

It's almost like you picked this topic so I could brag in a public forum about getting all of our humans into Slack. 😉 But I really am proud of that project because it was a team effort, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave us a chance to get everyone in the same space. On a personal level, I stood outside in 20-degree temps for an hour-and-a-half, so I could see Ben Platt and hear his new music, which was super rewarding for me.

From an article perspective, I'm super into this post that @Brittany Joiner wrote for the Trello blog about how to build systems and processes in Trello that help you tackle both short- and long-term goals. Here in the Community, I was blown away by @Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California)'s detailed post about getting started with Confluence.

@Erica Moss thanks! and I hope it really helps new users building their own learning path.

You are a magical human being, and I appreciate you times a millionty. Quite the undertaking and I think for all the chaos - it's going SUPER well!

You're crazy though for standing in the vortex of all that is cold and miserable... Just saying. 

Also - @_Fabian A. Lopez is a superhero.
