This means that I have printed off up until week commencing 31 Jan 2016. This allows me to focus on what is required now and not become overwhelmed by the overall project scope. The process I use is simple in that I attach two pins with an elastic band between them to show which week I am on. This will only be changed each Sunday. This allows me to see where I should be at that point and then reflect on what I have done to see if I am on time with the program. Each Sunday will also allow me to plan for the week ahead, make any changes that are required and hopefully highlight any issues I am having. Breaking the program down into weekly lists also helps to break up the work into more manageable chunks and also allows for a more iterative process. This is key as I am unsure how my questions may change or how the work I produce will direct my project.
There are three main groups on my chart, research & development, presentations & submissions and events & workshops. The research & development shows the time I should spend considering questions, studying picture books, researching journals, books etc and time allowed for proposals and development of concept etc. The presentations & submissions is to highlight the critical dates throughout the project. The events & workshops show things I have organised to attend, these are important as they may have a huge influence on my project. Being aware of these dates in relation to everything else is vital in allowing me to prepare and carry out any research required prior to an event that I am attending and also in planning out what work I can get done between events. The weekly checks will help me in prioritising the works that are required at that point in time.
