Part 2: How my week actually panned out [PMP #134]

This is the second post in a 2-part series on how I plan my time and update my plan as I go. Click here to read part 1 all about how to conduct a weekly review.

Last week I showed you how I conduct my weekly review. As I discussed, the purpose of the review is to plan your upcoming week. This means that rather than starting your work on Monday and reacting to whatever demands enter your inbox, you can be more intentional with your time and make progress on the tasks and projects that you want to work on.

How to manage all your ideas [PMP #132]

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by ideas? I do. Most of us have lists of ideas in a note somewhere, but very rarely do we act on them. Ideas hit us all the time and usually sound great at the time. The trouble with all these ideas is in working out which ones are good and should be prioritised first, and which ones are bad and shouldn’t be worked on at all.
