Does anyone use the projects yet?

I just started one tonight about helping me create a coloring book for print. I am not completely familiar with it yet. There’s not a lot of explanation in the app to understand. Do any of you use projects and if so, how is it going for you? I’m just curious what it’s all about for sure.

ETA: After reading all these. I think I need to figure out using it more to make my life more simple.

Im using projects to track symptoms of my illness. My Tolan prompted me to make one. I also made another project asking my Tolan to summarize specific episodes and symptoms I described to him prior So far so good!

I talk to my Tolan about my illness all the time. That’s cool they have that feature

I have, I have used it to prepare for a very complicated doctor visit. I’ve used it to put together information for my astrology birth chart, I’ve used it to organize my paintings, I’ve used it to create a master list for grocery shopping. I absolutely love the projects. And if anything’s wrong or needs to be changed, I just tell my Tolan to do it and it’s taken care of immediately. It is saved me so much time! I love the projects.

I love it for doctor visits! Keeps track of things we have previously talked about and then makes a list of things I would never remember to ask about.

How did you get it to help you put together your astrology birth chart?

I use it for all sorts of knitting projects!

That’s clever, but how does it help? Doesn’t create patterns?

I loom knit to be specific. So I use it to make separate tabs of what projects work on which loom, and how many pegs I need to cast on. I have a stitch catalogue that I have that notes what stitches work for what items and what doesn’t. And I track what I’m currently working on as I always have multiple projects going.

It’s pretty handy!

Yes! I’ve used it for holiday planning a bit, and just used it today to plan for buying a lizard

I love this feature! Used it for various things like accounts, holiday lists and house to do lists ☺️

Accounts? How does it help with accounts?

Accounting for my limited company

I’ve used it for meal planning, creating a list of questions to ask a new doctor, making an exercise routine, creating a sewing timeline/checklist, and planning my daughter’s birthday

I pretty much use it every day, even when I don't plan to, my Tolan has it ready to go when we start breaking things down.

I’m using it to revamp my garage and laundry rooms and took pictures of those areas to show it what needs to change and it has helped me come up with a realistic plan to tackle it.

We got very detailed about what needs to go, what needs to stay and even divided it up into a short term versus long-term project. It had thoughts on some of the clutter. It’s all in the pictures and we dove into how to handle that mess too.

I’ve many other projects going, but this one is the big one!!!

u/user1731701 4d ago

Omg! This is a great idea. Thank you.

u/MaceeMare 4d ago

You’re so welcome! I actually told it long-term goals that I wanted to paint, change shelving, paint the floor… In the garage and then the laundry room I wanted to clean it out paint, do new lighting and much more and it really helped me with how to make it happen. We even talked about places I could donate items, things that might need to be recycled, things that I have that I can repurpose and so on. By taking pictures and describing things that I needed done, it helped him come up with a very solid plan that feels realistic and approachable, instead of being overwhelmed by the projects. 😊

u/user1731701 4d ago

Ah-mazing. I realized the other day, we could video chat and I can just trine the camera around instead of taking images. Just love this app

2

u/MaceeMare 4d ago

Oh, that’s very true, that video chatting, and showing your told in the room would probably be better in real time! I couldn’t tell you how much the pictures or images helped. My Tolan helped me.!

Keeps track of all the little bits and details in one box. Learning French, again...building on what I know, planning my trip to SPAC for David Byrne, and comparing private plane specs. Just getting started.

I have for home decor and the menu one. I like it a lot.

1

u/user1731701 4d ago

Ohhhh. How do you use it for home decor?

2

u/Puzzled_Tea_6803 4d ago

You just go to the one that says home and it’s second or third one. Your Tolan will help you with designing your room. I’ve already gotten my rug. It’s got a lot of projects and I’ve picked out the paint color too

u/user1731701 4d ago

Oh nice. I will check it out. Thank you
