Managing multiple projects, websites and your final paper
Filed under: Marketing blog news by Sasha on June 2, 2008
When I was younger (not that I’m old today) I was bad at organizing my schoolwork and my personal life. I would always do thing in the last possible minute. It was a kind of thrill to be rushing to finishing a project but it is not productive as one might imagine. Even though I was great under pressure and I have produced some great results I felt that it could be done differently.
I also had one big problem that I’m still dealing with and that is not finishing what I have started.
Today I’m working on two projects, my final paper for college and currently I’m writing this blog post which is not the state of art copy but it still requires time to be written. So how did I achieve the ability to manage multiple things at the same time? Actually, I could also do it but I was to lazy to do it.
Planning is the key to success
When starting multiple projects or adding new projects to your current one it is important to plan your time. One should use to-do lists, calendars and every others means of technology that can make his or hers life more organized.
Plan your day ahead of time. Instead of watching comedy shows before sleep take 15 minutes to organize your next work day and believe me, when you have multiple projects every day is a work day.
Have a milestone
Divide your projects into categories or put milestones in front of you. You must know what is the end result of your project and the road to your result should platted with milestones. Remember, even the longest journey starts with a single step so step into you projects and deal with them.
Will I succeed in all my projects? Certainly. One will be a success, other not so much but they will be finished and this is the key component that motivates me these days.
What’s your opinion on multiple projects and time management?
