Time management

I created a time plan a few weeks back. I am proud to say that I stuck to it! - Mostly anyway.

I noted down a lot of time for spending time on brief 3 however I really pushed myself to finish the brief early (the practical work). So it was great to get this out of the way so that my focus could shift onto the project report and the boards.

Running ahead of time has really helped me to be calm about the submission. Although every submission becomes tough right before hand-in, I can be confident that I did not leave lots of work to do at the end, but instead spread the workload out.

My time management throughout the whole module has been good I feel. When deadlines come up- like crits and tutorials, it forces me to make work. Its almost like my practice and workload is like a steady wave on the sea (not like a crashing storm wave) but a wave that builds and falls in rhythm with the world load at hand. I'm not someone who doesn't work for a week then works like mad because the pressure is on.

A problem that I did have with time management, particularly towards the start of the module, was knowing the right balance of time for each module. I set aside days for each module like Fred suggested however crits/ deadlines/ meetings would pop up and throw off the whole schedule. At times when I was doing this module, i felt like I should be doing another module's work and vice versa.  Once the COP module was out of the way, I felt like I could focus a lot more as that took a lot of my time, energy and brain-space.

Something that I wish I had done differently with my time was I wish that I had of spent my easter a bit differently. Although I was doing uni work pretty much every day, my focus was on PPP. In hindsight the weighting of that module to this module is almost insignificant in comparison and therefore I should of spent 1 of every 4 days on PPP and the rest of the time on this module.
