Time Management

Using the prime time of your day or the golden time of day is when you should be creating. I.E. shooting editing, etc. put off or away those little things of none importance or things that can wait until you have your priorities done. Checking Facebook, reading emails, video games on the phone can wait. Try to write down everything that you need to do or things you thing you can remember. The brain is so busy that it tends to forget. In addition to writing everything down, create a “bubble”, a place to do all of your work to keep you from distractions and keep you focused and organized. Batch processing is important to completing task. By breaking things down into segments, putting them in smaller bites, it gives the brain time to rest. Work on task in 2-3 hour frames so you don’t become worn down on a task. Make task list. Put the priorities at the top of the list. Cover up the smaller none essential task so you don’t overwhelm yourself with thoughts that you cannot complete them. Track your time for a couple of weeks. This is a good method to see how you are really spending your time. Outsource work when necessary. Don’t feel as though you have to do everything. And finally reward yourself for a job well done, but only when you have completed the assignment or the task at hand.

I plan to work on my time management buy writing everything down and prioritizing my task from what needs to be done now and what can be done later. I also want to work on putting task in batches. I tend to been that person that will become overwhelmed by a project and try and complete it all at once rather than in blocks. I think this will improve the quality as well as quantity of my work.
