Chapter 32 - The Abundance of Work

I just had to express my thankfulness somewhere:

I've just completed 98% of my (one of out many) assignment!!

now, 2 more to go excluding FYP *sigh*

I'm sure lots of you have been wondering whether "does Jan really have SOOO much work/assignments to do as he claimed to have?"

well, let me give you a little tour:
2 assignments due this Friday
- 2 mobile web applications accompanied by 2 full reports and user guide (4,000 words)
- 1 project management report based on the PMBOK (7,000 words)

1 assignment due next Wednesday
- 3 reports, 2 presentations all regarding different areas of the module (5,000 words)

FYP midpoint presentation next week
- Chapter 1 (introduction) to Chapter 5 (analysis and design) approximately 100pages or 30,000 words

Finals on the 10th and 12th November
- 2 2hour papers, 3 questions choose 2, 50% each question

First week of December
- FYP progress report with supervisor (development of the system has started)
- Also the beginning of a new semester aka final sem

Second week of December
- Claimed as a critical week though still unknown

This workload schedule excludes the following:
- Youth ministry responsibilities (LG + Events)
- Musician responsibilities
- Shirts 4 Real
- Genesis IT Solutions & Services
- and more assignments during the final semester

Working hours are now: 9am - 3am daily without any off days (Sat and Sun are fully packed)

So, there we go. Now you understand why I'm very thankful for just ONE 98% completion? :)

God has been very very good so yea, I'm not complaining at all.

Now I'm off to complete it!

There! No more dust and shrooms growing all over this blog for now!

Time management tip: Draw a timeline for yourself when you're very busy, with much work to do. Set milestones (i.e. deliverables) to ensure that you're on the right track. It works! ;)
