Time management

To manage my time I like to make a weekly list every Sunday night of what I plan on having finished by the following Sunday.



I started off with up dating my main to do list, a list which consists of things that I need to do before submission. This is split into categories as you can see. From this I then choose some of the tasks to do per day per week.



I then write my week out, including timetables uni sessions and slot in work around this. I like to dedicate each day to a different project to make sure I am not only focusing on one thing. For Monday this week I chose to focus on SB2 and gave myself a few tasks off of my overall to do list to do. For Tuesday I chose to focus on Responsive and getting my mini briefs out of the way by completing my design boards for them.



On Wednesday I focused on COP and PPP as I had the whole day to focus on work. In the morning I prepared myself for my presentation on thursday and then did some COP design work in the afternoon. I knew I wouldn't be able to do any work on Thursday due to the presentations therefore I gave myself an easy day and simple gave myself the tasks of blogging about the presentation and getting ready for the crit on Friday. On Friday the crits are only on until 12 therefore I have the rest of the day to focus on some work. I wanted make sure I had finished my design boards by this point and if I had I would then focus on responsive - my bigger task. I then plan on doing a bit of design work for responsive and SB2 as well as finishing up any work I didn't get round to on my to do list

I also have a print out calendar which I also use to plan my time in a more general way, I then develop this and make weekly plans which become more full and specify what work I plan on doing for them specific days and what times.



I also have a month plan which allows me to document what is happening at uni on specific days eg crits so i have time to prepare for them.
