Project Management

Writing Part 2 will come soon enough.. ;) 

For now, I need to share some thoughts on project management. 

Project Management, literally referring to the management of projects, is something that gets me excited and feeling fulfilled - yet it comes with its challenges. Personally, my tendency is to pass a phase of searching for every new project, then they pile up on top of each other, leading to a hearty workload that a full time job simply doesn't allow. 

In the last year, my project management skills have exponentially grown but I am far from perfect. 

Everything aside, there are a few things that have been aiding in recent productivity: 

1. Go to SLEEP before midnight every chance possible. Whenever that doesn't happen, productivity tends to lack the next day. 

2. DON'T DWELL on a project. "Pet" projects aren't usually worth the countless hours, or years, of "what if." Just do them and move on, as much as possible. If they don't pour out of you, and they're a burden, they could easily feel that way to an audience. 

3. COMMUNICATE. Some of us are notoriously awful at communicating, even though the world is at our fingertips. Never assume others are on the same page with the rat race taking place in your mind. Communication is the most basic step to accountability and reputation. 

With everything going on: jobs, family, sanity, and personal projects - it is easy to get lost. 

Keep a calendar. Talking is better than texting. Prioritize. Strive for fulfilling experiences and don't take yourself TOO seriously.
