Behind the Blocks: Time Tracking Insights
In this month’s "Behind the Blocks," we discussed the evolution of our time tracking methods. Moving from traditional time tracking to a more reflective weekly log system has provided us with better insights and less daily hassle. This method encourages daily reflections on accomplishments and future plans, proving beneficial for project management and personal productivity.
Showcase: Marine Association Website
Shout out to community members Nour Akalay and TM Designs for their impressive work on the Marine Association website. This site features a modern theme with functional elements like an events calendar, job opportunities section, and more, all built using core Concrete CMS functionalities.
