WEEK 1 & 2 || PROJECT PROPOSAL

Changed blog from Blogger because the spacing and formatting just felt too annoying :

ACHIEVED:

• Completed the Project Proposal (very frustrated that it wasn't completed until week 2, but this was possibly due to my supervisor ensuring I took it easy since I still haven't given myself a break)

• Been testing out and evaluating further work structures (e.g. switching between tasks regularly, prioritising the [MUST] tasks first, trying to stop jumping into doing something without working out the task's priorities)

• Made plenty of further project decisions based on previous and further investigation, from justification within a personal and industry context. It was important to pour even a little bit of research into each pipeline stage and task to be able to predict and tackle any inevitable issues - allowing myself to be as prepared as possible!

TIME-TRACKING & TIMELINE & TASK MANAGEMENT

< Before and after. ^

Previously produced a spreadsheet for the purpose of monitoring my time spent across the project as well as to visually see how far away milestones and deadlines are. This would've worked, yet I've been struggling with creating independent yet effective documents for tasks & subtasks and to schedule them. Until coming across a particular timeline in an example proposal by Josephine Scawthorne. So... I'm totally not completely copying it, but I also am completely copying it :P --- because it seems incredibly more useful than my ANY of my past organisational sheets so I thought "let's just give it a go!"

I'll be using the spreadsheet to be able to monitor how much time I've spent in a week and across the project against the 600 hours (doesn't have to be exact), that the module expects.

I'm always conscious of spending work time productively/valuable way, so I'm excited to develop more of my time/project management skills, as well as ensuring that I still have time aside for actual good pure relaxation and/or pure fun - something that I had previously completely underestimated the importance of... (and still do 😅)

From time to time I'll change from actual sentences to just bullet points - due to [MUST] goals.
