Hello guys, I'm Daniel, The Italian Coach! :D I posted my introduction in the proper section, so I'll go straight to the point! :) As I said in that post, everyone has different ways to see the "System Thinking". Of course the "Plan -> Execute -> Track -> Review -> Reset" and the "Life Vision -> Daily Vision" is pretty much similar in the different approaches, but what about other stuff? For you guys, approaching this system, did you find it easy even coming from other approaches? :D I read some posts saying that could be difficult the transition from level 1 to level 2, so @Peter Shev , would it be a good idea to start from the level 2 straight away or do you suggest to do step by step? I mean... I know that you did in a "organised manner", but that includes of course the "business cycle" that will lead towards the purchase of the level 2 (so free course -> paid course). Now, considering that I already decided to buy even the level 3 (ahah), I will re-ask the question: it would be a good idea to start from the level 2 straight away or do you suggest to do step by step? 🤣 I hope now is way clearer my question ahah! That said... I fell in love with the system when I saw you tracking >100 metrics. At that point I thought "ah, so it's not only me in the word to be that granular! 🤣". So, @Peter Shev very very very nice to meet you and congratulations for the work done!!! 👏

I noticed some you sharing bits of your stories and I absolutely love reading those! Thought it’d be cool to have one place where we can all get to know each other🙌 Here’s a simple format you can follow (but feel free to freestyle if you want): Hey, I'm from _____________. My main interests include _________, __________. (plus would love to hear your background with Notion and goals with LifeOS!)

Today is one of my quarterly planning days and as I'm working on downloading and defining projects, I'm starting to feel like I may want to add another property to my projects table for "What does success look like?" Yes, there's 'definition of done', but for me, that's more of a 'when do I feel like I can check this off my list?' On the other hand, 'What does success look like?' gives me a better idea of what sorts of things I should be working on. For example, I am teaching two certification class series and a conference session in the next 4 months. - Definition of done: "I have put together my presentation, prepared, and presented to x group." - What does success look like?: "I've carefully prepared my slides to be engaging without distracting and practiced so that I'm not just reading what's on the slides, but instead giving the "so what" and "what now" behind the information. Feedback from those in attendance is that they were engaged, learned new things that feel applicable to them, and they are excited to go back to their office and put what they've learned into practice. Association/conference coordinators approach me about teaching for them again." Someone is probably thinking "Why not just put the success version in the done property?" This may just be my brain, but if I don't achieve a portion of that, then now I'm back feeling like I have some sort of open loop that I can't close. Done is practical, Success is aspirational. Thoughts from anyone else?

I'm still reflecting on what the trigger is - most likely when life feels really busy - but I'm taking my Life Admin routines analogue again. For me, this is a set of 3x5 cards and month/day card dividers in a box (a bit like a 43 folders tickler file, but the idea is from the Sidetracked Home Executives book). When I'm busy, out of sight = out of mind, so the 3x5 cards are a tangible representation what I routinely need to get done and what I have left to do. Having my home and daily routines tucked into Notion means that I tend to be inconsistent when I am offline. Prior to integrating the LifeOS system, I had added checkboxes to my days to indicate that I had completed routine sets, so likely I'll go back to using those and also surface those to the higher levels. I suppose this is just encouragement to do what works for you to make sure things that need to be done...get done.

Wow!! I knew I’d been putting this off for a reason hahaha. I’ve just migrated all my Level 1 stuff into Level 2, and honestly… I kind of wish I hadn’t customised Level 1 so much. The amount of editing I had to redo has fully turned my brain to mush 😅 Guilty... I definitely let my old system fall into a bit of disrepair because I knew this one was coming 🙈 I’m sure for all you Notion wizards it would’ve been a breeze, but I’m pretty wiped after all that. I’ve got it set up so I can use it pretty much like Level 1 for now, and I’ll slowly learn more as I get the capacity. Such a cool system, Peter, thank you so much for creating it. I’m really excited to dig into the upgrade (after I've recovered LOL)!
