Add some tips on effective watson usage #438

Open joelostblom opened 3 years ago

I think it would be helpful to expand on the "getting started" section with some more pointers for how to be effective with watson. The ones suggested in this PR are obviously colored by how I use watson and I am happy for them to be replaced with something more general, or maybe better: for there to be a section where users can share their specific workflows (although that might be more hidden for people going to the website).

Fun groovy gifs like this one can be added if desired to match the cat:

I also fixed a typo I noticed when reading the docs.

Haha yes, it is definitely opinionated =) I like the idea of real world usage scenarios, that's what I was trying to get at with my second suggestion. Where do you want that section? As a third entry in the "User guide" after "Commands" and "Configuration"?

I can add my story for now and change it to a more personal narrative and encourage others to share their tips/setup/workflows. I feel like this sharing of knowledge could be good for community building too, not sure about the exact format, but something like this:

These are examples from the community of how people use watson for their daily time tracking. Please feel free to share your own tips via a GitHub issue and we can add them here!

User 1/Example 1 (or name?) ... User2/Example 2 .... etc

Yes, good idea!

Few years ago, I wrote a narrative about Watson usage: https://tailordev.fr/blog/2016/02/05/a-day-tracking-my-time-with-watson/

Not sure it's still relevant now...
