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.

+1 on the vegan point, it's surprisingly easy to fall for processed crap when being vegan (speaking from personal experience)

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

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 :)

EA Recommended Note Taking Systems?
Answer by Arjun Yadav 🔸1

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).
