I just finished confirming catering, we’re going with Easy Sunsets.
Got it, I marked your confirm catering task as complete and added a note to the event project about this. Want me to add a follow-up a week before the event?

Can you remind me what Sarah said about the music preferences?
The other day during your 1-on-1, Sarah said she thinks an upbeat jazz vibe might be cool, but she’s open to suggestions.

Honestly I think an upbeat jazz vibe might be cool for the showcase, but I'm open to suggestions, whatever fits the crowd.

Having the operations stuff on here has been really helpful. When something happens at Cary, I can just go in here and put it under Cary. It's the only software I use now other than Slack.

I just speech-to-texted the entire project, what it was about, what I did, and the important things that needed to get done next time, and it figured everything out. Not knowing how to get everything organized was a huge hurdle that doesn't exist anymore.

It is probably the best software I have used to reduce cognitive load, and it allows me to connect all kinds of threads and groups.

About

I’m the founder of Elephants and the program manager for an Entrepreneurship Clinic at NC State University in Raleigh, NC. When managing a large and rapidly growing network for my personal and professional work became unwieldy, I started Elephants as a personal relationship management tool. Since then it’s grown into more than that: it’s become the single spot I use to manage all of my important relationships and projects and the context around them.

Outside of this work I’m a huge fan of travel and language learning (¡hablemos español!), the outdoors, running, sim racing, photography and design, and teaching.
