Strategy for Completing Time Consuming Projects
While working on a long and stressful assignment, I find it crucial to create a strategy on how to tackle all the requirements of the project. Personally, it helps me to create a detailed and organized checklist that I am able to physically mark items off once completed. It helps me to visualize how far along I am and what still needs to be completed for the assignment. All these requirements are also broken down into days in my planner. For example, Monday is solely for finishing the articles and taking notes. This is a more time consuming task that can be boring and tedious, so I like to provide myself with a bunch of time to complete it within a day. Having this prior information and knowledge allows me to know what direction I need to take to complete the project. If I slow down the initial readings, I become more stressed and feel I don’t have enough time to finish each section adequately.
