Load your Project Management Guns
I stumbled across this very interesting site www.eventmanagerblog.com that might be an interesting resource for you to add to your career-planning arsenal. As we all know, finding a job is a job by itself and this site provides some really unique resources that will allow you to be more productive.
They do talk about project management software, which would be for the true project management professional (if you PMPs are reading this, definitely check out the site for that information). However, there are a number of other references that can help us (me included) all plan better. I am often told by my husband that I am the most organized disorganized person he has ever met. I routinely fly from email to writing to handling a client call all in the span of five minutes. He muses – “How on earth do you get anything done? Do you know how much more productive you would be if you would focus on one thing at a time? Do you realize you are ADD, ADHD (and a lot of other acronyms) to boot?” Of course I agree and vow that I am going to reinvent myself, change my bad habits, and reform! But, it is not to be; try as I might, I venture on this path only to slip back into the quagmire of the comfort of knowing that I have no unread messages.
Anyway, there are books on this site related to managing projects and lo and behold – even how to use your iPhone to manage events! Can you believe? In a world where time is of the essence and people are juggling so many personal and professional tasks, this stuff can be applied to various aspects of your life, including your career.
Enjoy, and try to remain focused so that you finish what you start. I for one, am turning over a new leaf tomorrow! This time, I promise.
