Sometimes you have to admit your strengths and sometimes you have to admit your weaknesses. I hate when this time comes around. I had one of these moments today setting up my final production schedule for my project. I love deadlines and I love having someone to answer to. This whole free work thing is really not my cup of tea. I was actually slightly relieved when Monica ( my director) mentioned that she wanted to meet with me a little more regularly than I originally anticipated. I feel as though I need that person there to keep me in line. I can’t help it I like order. I started my project management plan in this great software called Omniplan. And the software was amazing for breaking up tasks and scheduling things out over along period of time. But it was hard to see things on a true daily basis. Although the end result was rather pretty and reliable with more bells and whistles than a music store, it was nut feeling right for me. I felt like it was time for a change . And this change had to be quick considering the final draft was due the next day. I decided to go into goggle calendar and start my calendar there. I knew in Google calendar I could put tasks almost daily. This way I could almost check them off as I was done. Using my knowledge from my Advanced Internet Media course I embedded it into a separate blog. This mainly served the purpose of allowing me the ability to check my schedule at any point from any location. This way I could never be late for a deadline ever. No white rabbit in my future. I felt like this approach although new and questionable would be the best fit for me. And if it does not fit . Well that only leads us to one conclusion. If at first you don’t succeed try… try again.
