Time Planning

In todays session, we looked at why Time Planning (Time to daydream) is important? And how we are able to adapt to it to help us dealing with a large amount of work?

• It clears the mind for the creative thought process.
• In functioning a professional practice. Large agencies have whole planning department, small agencies/ self employed are (amongst other things) the planning department.
• No planning = No professional practice.
• Missed of deadlines, angry clients, sub standard work, missed opportunities and stress!
• Stress/Burnout 

How is Time Planning possible?

1. Tool #1 - Love list 
2. Tool #2 - Know yourself 
3. Tool #3 - Plan ahead 

So in small groups we were told to layout/draw our every week timetable which includes our weekend. It must include time for us to work, leisure and a wish list must be fitted in. We used a colour key to highlight, red for work and green for leisure. There is our timetable below.
