When the World Feels Out of Your Control, Put Stuff in Spreadsheets
The world is a very messy place right now, and there’s not much any of us have any control over. We wear our masks. We stay at home when we can. We’ve stopped attending the cocktail parties that many of us never enjoyed going to in the first place. In the United States, some of us have even already cast our ballots for this contentious election, so even that’s out of our control now too.
In times like these, I take solace in Google Sheets. All those neat rows and the soothing green accent colors at least give me some semblance of control.
If you are a Google Sheets aficionado or if you’ve ever wanted to be one, everything you need to organize the heck out of your messy life is available now at Forge, the Medium publication dedicated to personal development.
There is fun stuff and serious but still important stuff and everything in between. And if none of these feel right to you, then try throwing a party. Yes, right in a Google Doc.
