Getting organised - time & project management
This week just gone I’ve let down five people, as well as myself. I’m atoning and making amends next week. Have made it up to two people so far, with concrete plans for two more, so I’m getting there.
The reason? Poor time management. It’s just hard to go from working at home on my own projects to full-time studying, at the same time as my social calendar has become awfully busy. Especially when I have new people with whom to interact.
Anyway, it’s okay, I just need to step up to the challenge.
Next week
- Presentation: Iris Murdoch, GE Moore & some complicated stuff on the Naturalistic Fallacy, which is neither naturalistic nor a fallacy
- Women’s Health & Feminism: Research of HPV, the vaccine & public reactions to it
- Finances: Three different banks & their managers to see
- Essays: Start planning!
- Add in some personal arrangements and that’s a pretty busy week. Bring it on!

It is always difficult to change schedules, especially as dramatically as your change is.
It doesn’t mean that it’s poor time management per se, I think, or at least not *necessarily*; I would be more inclined to say that it simply takes time to effect changes in your existing time management scheme when that’s combined with changes *to* your scheme.
Good luck with next week, if there’s anything I can help with, do say.

I think this is an excellent point, thank you very much for making it. It is true that my schedule has changed dramatically, so yes, it’s reasonable for it to take me time to adjust. Frustrating in the meantime, but there we go.
So far this week has gone quite well. I’ve just about managed to squeeze everything in (well, nearly, but the things that got left out have firm pride of place in next week). Looks like I’m getting on top of things.
Now I just need to make sure I don’t get complacent!
Thanks a lot for your sterling comment; much appreciated.
