The Plate Spinning Project: Officially In Progress! (and a free tracking tool, too!)

Yesterday I stopped procrastinating, set up my writing system, and jotted out a rough outline for Plate Spinning, The Book. How cool is that?

Long term, I hope to develop some specifically plate oriented tracking tools. In my own life, I’ve used spreadsheet for this from time to time, but that’s remarkably boring and not a lot of fun to share with you - so I went on a tool-hunt, and wound up with Joe’s Goals.

It’s not got all of the features I want, but it’s intuitive, which counts for a lot in plate-spinning. And.. tada.. it’s free!

To use Joe’s Goals, just set up each “Plate” as either a goal or a log. Then as you move through the week, either add a checkmark for each related task (if it’s set up as a goal) or a note about what you did (if its a task).

Either method should show you at a glance which areas need attention, and which ones have momentum going, and which areas need attention.

So go check it out. Joe’s Goals. Tell them I sent you. They have no idea who I am, of course, but I think they should, don’t you?
