I have a number of deadlines coming up and it has started to overwhelm me. There's too much floating around in my head. I need to write things down and allow more time for tasks, because there are always unexpected complications.
Allowing plenty of time is also important because you need to give people warning if you need their assistance. For example, I need to find a film student to help with a project and I also need to contact a poet for an interview and if I leave it too long they might not have time.
I found a Ted Talk that has helped me to clarify what I need to do to effectively manage my time. I summarised it below:
