Click up or Monday? (Or some other program?)
Curious what folks use to keep track of multiple projects and deadlines as well as tracking accomplishments. Clickup and Monday seem the best form what I was reading but curious if folks have preferences.
Thanks!

I'm a fan of sans serif fonts (Arial) because they're easier to read

I took Viking and was so pleased. The customer service, the science aspect, And the opportunities to do landings, kayaking and cruising was all excellent and worth every penny

Did I do it right? #AGU24

AGU social media template, but instead of real content includes a list of facetious questions:
Where’s my next session?
Are you using that chair?
Mind if I plug in next to you?
43 new text message?!?
Do you remember the way back to the conference center?
Tell me your name again…

Happy to announce that the rush to AGU as a postdoc feels very similar to the rush as a PhD student! So fun! /Sarcasm

This was a fantastic panel (Christa Kelleher, Laura Lautz, and Heather Golden are all amazing) and it was a privilege to be involved. Here's a slide representing some reflections on and my mental model of how I think of service. The panel will soon be on the CUAHSI YT channel.

A slide containing a Venn diagram with three intersecting circles labelled Obligatory, Strategic, and Enriching. Populating the diagram are service roles shown in red (concluded) and green (ongoing) and where they fall. Bullets define obligatory service as service you must do, strategic service as service that advances longer-term goals, and enriching service as service that provides meaning beyond metrics. A list of key things to remember are: (1) you should be able to answer whether you have time for a particular service role and whether it's right, right now, (2) saying "no" now is not saying "no" forever, and (3) you should practice authentically saying "no"
