Being Organised

I have begun to realise just how important keeping a diary is this year. I’m not quite sure where i would be without it. At first i thought it was little sad, and i would be able to remember everything myself, but i realise i was very wrong.

I’ve had my diary since august 2008 and it has enabled me to keep track of my busy schedule over these last months. I even resorted to colour coding different projects in different colours in order for them to stand out amongst all the other work and commitments i have. This could be considered sad but i have been able to mange and dedicate the right amount of time to individual tasks appropriately.

I set mini deadlines for myself in order to break work down, so my workload doesn’t seem too huge which therefore makes the work less daunting and for me, much more attainable. Examples of when i have done this is with my dissertation and minor/major projects, giving myself deadlines when certain chapters have to be written by, or when i need to have locations or actors by.

I believe this has helped me keep on top of work. Theres only a few days to go before i hand in my dissertation. With only one chapter to just check over, i am almost finished, with several days to go before the deadline. Therefore i don’t feel i have rushed the work and i believe by managing my work and time i have dedicated enough time to each project, hopefully doing it to the best of my ability.

I shall definatly maintain this for the rest of the term for my major edit, production analysis and PDP essay, and will continue to keep a diary, as this year has taught me i need the reminders and time to set aside tasks in order for me to get them done on time.
