Time Managment

This week blog post that I will discuss is “Time Management”.  Last week post was about “How to Manage a Project” which in that aspect I talked about making sure that you have everything you need. This week is based on making sure that you have enough time to finish your project. Time management is very important when in the entertainment industry. It is important that you use time management when creating projects; it allows you to finish projects on time and not be late. I am going to discuss some ways on how to use time management to make your project successful.

First allow yourself to have enough time to finish your project. It is one thing; when you have everything you need but if you do not make sure that you allow yourself enough time to get what you need done then that is a problem.  Time management is an important part when managing a project. If you do not give the project enough time, then your project can seem rushed and will not turn out good.

Second, plan to finish your important tasks that you know will take up majority of your time first. These are the tasks that you know you have to finish first, because these tasks make your project successful. When planning make sure you give yourself an extra day or two than your estimated time that you will finish. Giving yourself an extra day, is preparing you for the worst. Meaning, if something came up on the estimated date that you was suppose to finish, you have an extra day to get the task finish because something went wrong. After you plan time for your important tasks first, then plan time to finish the tasks that is not going to take up much of your time. The principal of giving you an extra day still applies. It applies because once again you never know what is going to happen, and you want to prepare for the worst.

In conclusion, Time management is very important. It is one thing to manage a project, but it is another thing to make sure you have enough time to complete the project.
