Deciding what to do at #Salesforce #TrailheadDX feels like choosing what artists to see at the Calgary Folk Fest. Good thing I have 10+ years of practice! Here’s what I did:

  1. Identified my two main priorities (admin certification and community).
  2. Made my big list.
  3. Went through the big list, moved anything not directly related to main priorities to second list (to be watched later). If something was best watched live (e.g. Q&A session), kept them on the first list and made a note of it.
  4. Went through (smaller) first list again, identified 1-2 sessions must-watch sessions for each priority and ones best watched live, fit them into schedule.
  5. Noted where the other items from the smaller first list may work (i.e. no conflicts with items in #4), fit them into schedule. Anything left got moved to the second list.

I ended up with a list of things that fits my priorities, includes a couple of live sessions, and I have some back ups (i.e. the second list) if my energy flags at the end of the day. (Spoiler: it always does, so if you’re at the Folk Fest look for me under a shady tree come the late afternoon!)
