What are Journal Entries?
A Journal Entry is an individual effort in your step towards achieving your career goal. Journal entries are of four types:-
Job Applications: Track your job applications, from application to offer.
Project Bids: Manage your efforts for winning individual projects, step-by-step.
Consulting initiatives: Free-form step-by-step tracking space for winning consulting/coaching gigs, anything where you're trying to establish a long-term relationship.
Pitches For the entrepreneurs, track your pitches of all types, from the first meeting to the final offer.
With journal entries, you have a dedicated space to track career initiatives like these in detail. With tasks, writing spaces, and novelist, you can powerfully and intelligently direct your efforts towards your career goals.
