GENERAL PLAN :

The Fulfilling Game of Organization is a set of four courses designed to introduce students to two effective tools for organization: Notion and Obsidian. These courses cover four key components:

• Time management
• Team management
• Project management
• Knowledge management

Each of these components will be explored over the four courses, following the outline below:

THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATION :

In an attempt to highlight the importance of organization in the careers of architecture students, we present this research paper conducted in Malaysia, where 250 architecture firms were surveyed about the soft skills they consider crucial for architects.

• the research
• the results

How can we acquire these soft skills?

The obvious answer is through planning. There are two main approaches: the first is planning using handwritten notes, and the second is using digital tools. The first method, relying on handwritten notes, presents several disadvantages .

planning using handwritten notes :

• Limited space for writing and drawing (expression)

• Compromised readability

• Difficult to share

• Data not accessible at all times

• Limited space for writing and drawing (expression)

  

using digital tools :

• Infinite writing space

• Enhanced readability for all members

• Collaboration enabled

• Data accessible at all times

  

Discovering NOTION and OBSIDIAN :

Notion :

Notion is a versatile digital workspace designed to help individuals and teams organize their time, tasks, projects, and knowledge in one platform.

Here are a few examples of how I use Notion personally. (these are the examples that were shared during the class.)

• Notion use for project management :
• Notion use for teams :
• Notion use for time management :
• Notion use for knowledge management :

Obsidian :

Obsidian is the private and flexible writing app that adapts to the way you think. It stores notes on your devices, so you can access them quickly, even offline. No one else can read them, not even Obsidian’s owners.

• Obsidian use for project management :
• Obsidian use for knowledge management :
• Obsidian use for time management :

NB: these examples are based on the methodology of the book "GTD" applied via the powerful tool that is Obsidian. (these are the examples that were shared during the class.)

This first course is an introduction to Notion and Obsidian. The subsequent classes will provide more details and demonstrate exactly how you can start using both platforms.
