Handling a Myriad of Requests from the Wife
I’ve always enjoyed building little systems to stay organized, and after struggling to juggle all the home maintenance requests from my wife, I finally built one that actually works. Wanted to share the setup in case anyone else is in the same boat. Not sure if anyone else deals with this, but my wife tends to bring up home repair and maintenance requests throughout the week, almost always when I'm not prepared to take the requests. At first, I tried writing things down, then texting myself, then putting sticky notes on the fridge. None of it stuck. So I ended up building a little system using Coda (kind of like Notion, but more database-y). Here’s how it works: She fills out a simple form when something comes up (no login needed for her) The requests go into a private dashboard where I detail, approve, prioritize, and eventually, activate them. You can see here that I have not yet taken a look at the sandbox request, and that, out of the requests I have approved, they're grouped by priority. https://preview.redd.it/j6lya79rghre1.png?width=1028&format=png&auto=webp&s=cc60b8aca69fe5e0855f19f562c7b1c64c8fb08f Once I'm ready to take more on (usually not more than 3-5 active projects at a time), I activate it, which allows me to add detailed steps and their statuses. https://preview.redd.it/2pby3e94hhre1.png?width=1012&format=png&auto=webp&s=9ff3c173ee9e52493e3632c6c59832f534504fba From there, I have a table at the top of the front page that quickly displays all the tasks I can do right now. https://preview.redd.it/2qb07p6bhhre1.png?width=1025&format=png&auto=webp&s=17305eff1ac93e98a9d022b8226a394c4f0d22a4 I also have a reporting page to automatically show me how much I'm getting done week-over week. (Here's an example from around last year's holidays). https://preview.redd.it/eksawq7jhhre1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=d24cf48edd9542d89b0852dd071a4119daaef464 It's actually been super helpful for staying on top of house stuff without getting overwhelmed. Plus, it cut down on the “Did you see my text about the garage?” convos. I figured I’d share the concept in case anyone else wants to build something similar. If you're interested in the setup or want to see how I structured it, happy to share more in the comments. submitted by /u/jacob_bauer1570 [link] [comments]
