#organising

Trans people in the UK need to organise!

It was a simple tumblr text post that was just like "I need to be organising, archiving, perhaps filing something" type post. And then the reply was a link to a browser game.

And the game is just a ton of words on a white web page, really barebones.

And the point is to sort the words into 45 categories that each contain 45 words.

The categories were stuff like dog breeds, musicals, cars, superheroes, musical instruments, elements on the periodic table, flowers, Internet memes, LotR characters, Beatles songs.....

Anyway I played it for like a couple hours but then backed out, and because I was in browser-within-tumblr on a random post on my FYP that I didn't like or otherwise interact with, I just can't get back to it. I've tried searching for the post and for the game but it's just gone.

Someone save me.

EDIT: I HAVE BEEN SAVED.

So in england we have this folklore guy called the green man and in my town every year they have a green man festival and its so cool and awesome and fun and I love it except for this year I just found out they're not doing it because of struggling to get volunteers/safeguarding/medical teams etc and I really want to help or get involved in getting it back somehow but Im only 15 and idk what im doing pls help

If you can, you'll need to contact the organisers, and ask how many volunteers they need, and If they'd be willing to hold one last chance open call for volunteers. this will work best if you have some people / organisations on standby to recommend to them. this could include local scout / guide groups, st johns ambulance, cadet groups, people looking to fulfill their DofE volunteer requirement, your friends, your family, youth groups, church groups - anyone at all

hope any of this helps!!!

Example of how I use it below:

I highly recommend the „put all tasks on tomorrow’s list ahead of time and then erase the ones you get done today” for a feeling of immense satisfaction and relief as you watch the tasks for tomorrow shrink.

Filling the Schedule column up as you go with things you didn’t have scheduled for a particular hour but did during the day is amazing for helping you realise that you aren’t actually lazy- and also it helps see how long each task took, and notice if you need a break (as well as helping you feel like you deserve it)

I also count up the checkmarks from To Do List and Call/Email, and add any scheduled work from the schedule to get a grand total of things done- it really helps me avoid the illusion that I’m lazy and get nothing done. It’s great when I have a bad day and can’t get anything done, because I can look back and go „oh, but I got 10 things done yesterday so I’m not actually falling behind if I’m not productive today.”

Water intake seems boring but I need it, badly. I’m always on the verge of dehydration.

I was also considering adding a ‚Dailies’ section where I can check off whether I took my meds, brushed my teeth, did whatever else I need to do daily, but I think it would make too much clutter. EDIT: forgot to say that by 'I made myself this' I actually mean 'I customised a template someone else made in Canva' (link to template by Caroline Carrillo)
