I have been looking for a way to organize what I need to do on my various projects. I have been looking at a lot of apps and paper ideas on how to track things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have looked at Bullet journal and Flow and half a dozen other methods of organizing projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some fundamentals that go through all these methods, but each has its system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caroline likes cosplanner for her costumes and projects and it works for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have come to the conclusion that I do best with paper and pen rather than on the computer or in an app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of what I work on I tend to keep in my head but that only works so far before there are problems. I still plan the project out in my head but I now write down the steps and check to see if I am ahead, behind or on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The advantage to that is I can see where I am underestimating the amount of time it takes to do a step in my process and where I got stuck. That helps me figure out the time needed next time to execute the idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a new notebook that is laid out the way I need to keep track of various things. I can add or subtract as needed. This also allows me to make lists of materials needed that I take a photo of when I go shopping. I can also put photo reference in there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do have a copy of Cosplanner, Flow, and Bullet Journal on my iPad. I use them on occasion but now want to figure out ways of using each one for when I don\u2019t have paper and an idea strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think part of this year will be moving from paper to app but if it doesn\u2019t work, I always have a sheet of paper and a pen to write things down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having written down my next couple of projects and project ideas, I need to execute them in a timely fashion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that is my current challenge to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am grateful for apps that help rather than the apps that distract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
