Please help me out by spreading the word and sharing this with your own networks - My goal with New Job Notebook is to help make this experience easier for anyone starting an office job! Starting with your first project, write down three relevant to-dos. Fill in to-dos for the other three projects. After months of hard work, meticulous designing (and redesigning 😅), and countless sleepless nights, I’m absolutely thrilled to introduce to you this game-changing new product! I see you are a research scientist. What subject do you study? I majored in biology in college. I was mostly Big Bio, behavioral ecology/animal behavior. I did a lot of note-taking and notebook updating then. One of my more fond notebook memories was of copying over our field notes into more polished, finalized notes at the end of the day. In a way, it seemed like we were doing double the work, but reviewing and copying over notes forces you to remember and think about what took place that day. I also remember preparing our chemistry notebooks before our labs. Again, it seemed like double the work, but it did help make the lab session run smoother, when all was said and done.

Reflection: With prompts to think about your short and long term goals, this serves as a valuable resource throughout your career journey!

Write down the names of your projects on a piece of scrap paper. Count up the total number of projects. Underneath the meeting name and date, create a section called “Prep.” Use this area to jot down any ideas, information, thoughts, or points you want to present, discuss, or make note of at the meeting. Guidance: Whether your company has a comprehensive onboarding process or not, you have this resource that provides a framework of what kind of information you should expect and questions to ask.

Grab your New Job Notebook: Onboarding & Onwards! and experience a better way to start a new job! 🚀But, this isn’t much help if you don’t have the time to figure out how to section, divide, and maintain your notebook. This organization method works well if you are juggling several projects at work, and need a single, convenient location to store your notes. This method is perfect for taking notes at meetings and brainstorming sessions, or for planning, writing, or recording data. Under “Notes,” create a section called “Next Steps.” Use this area to write down the individual tasks, or to-dos you’ll need to take care of, post-meeting.
