While this point didn't directly touch upon mental health, I still want to shout out this EA Mental Health Resource document, and I'd highly recommend this post about Imposter Syndrome. No one deserves to struggle by themselves.
Thanks for hosting this Kes! I really enjoyed helping out with the mental well-being sharing circle, and I hope that there are more EG retreats in the future :)
As a tl;dr from my initial thoughts on the original post: I think this has individually been really beneficial for my work, and I’m excited to potentially see it grow :)
While I am by no means an "experienced" organiser nor the main organiser for EA Manchester as a whole, I've decided to fill out the form anyway as I think my insights may be useful after a year of starting a separate branch (AI Safety Manchester) at our EA society :)
I use Notability on iPad for the majority of my notes. It's free now, organising features are extensive enough for my use case and it auto-backups to Google Drive as PDF. GoodNotes is an alternative.
Other than that, I use Notes on iOS sort of as a "slip box" and Notion for more tabular/structured data (though beware of privacy concerns with Notion).

This is sick! I'd pay for a tee-shirt or sticker with the same design.

Really excited for EA UK's work in the future with @gergo as director now! Congratulations :)
So glad to have seen this published, great stuff Chris!
