JME Capstone OP 5 
Peer Review by JAE

I really appreciate your use of the OP commentary as a way to step outside the OP
I have had real challenges with the multilayered OP format, but your management of it is very logical 
layered nicely so the first page is like instructions on how to peel the onion without crying too much 
and then we digi in! Different from my approach, different from the template, I dig it!

Really feelin your OP goals brother. Perfect overlap, like entirely, Im in Peru visiting my family and working rather than chillin with them at the beach lol, also I love how you can stomach giving so much precise detail, my goal is like “I want this thing to be done” there I articulated my goal… hehe 

OP design Process I like that you have a design process that you have arrived at and that works for crankin out OP’s 

Your OP process reflection actually makes me sad lol because its what happened to me too, and its not cool. Like Gaia U can and needs to do better.

Outcomes in Gaia U is a fuzzy concept, and in my OPs I have addressed that by thinking about all of it as Results of my interventions, but with an LR its hard because we are reflecting on reflections and it makes me dizzy

I like your intro and how you speak about what youre doin being in the overlap of these areas, I almost want a visual representation but I know we are both in minimalist boat right now :)

Your skillflex tracking is massive James!

Your 5 P goals are super lofty hell yes!, my only suggestion is active voice present tense a la Jacke may give them a bit more solid ring, and also can help test out how they feel, "I will continue” sounds wishy washy but how about ”I align actions with values. I contemplate.”
“I evolve my fitness and health. I dance. I acroyoga.” Also really epic outcomes regardless! I am stoked you have been able to track so much growth in these areas of your life! I have found the Holistic Context work from holistic management super helpful.

I really value your summarized plans and outcomes… solid renegotiation of OP4, none of my stuff turned out the way I planned!

Love your Ikigai table dude! Good on ya!
I think the inclusion of a slideshow for a whole two pages especially when the second slide has one barely visible line it may be beneficial to screen shot the thing add it as a picture and cite Lean Canvas in text… But maybe thats just my Mahara anxiety its fine.

Feels like the 2 column section should come after the single column section, might be personal preference so dont worry about it, time crunch lol

The stark difference between your sleek design for your OP pages and the Mahara default makes me want to really appreciate and applaud and commend that bit of extra effort. The majority of deviations from default I witness in people’s OP’s make me cringe as a designer. None of that here, instead of a senseless splattering of colors and fonts and distracting pictures as background, you have created a clear, organized, free breathing design, that is not just an improvement from the default (and makes me question my reliance on it) but also James, it matches your work, It says something about you, it says you give a shit about beauty, and about intention, and it maybe reflects the privilege of well traveled, cosmopolitan “class” and “taste” (it may all be projection and it says more about me that I thought, “oooo sleeeeek, claaaaassy”) but that is not necessarily a bad thing when expressed (and seen) by someone doing real work in the world to break down those hierarchies of privilege. I feel like I see you dude, and I am stoked to be in this same crunch boat with you. I look forward to meeting and collabing in default world, or the burn, or more in gaia u land.
