Things to Not Do This Year When In Charge of a Project


How many new years resolutions have you broken already? Maybe it is time to make a resolution about what not to do instead of what you are going to do. This idea doesn’t even require mobile applications. Maybe more like a lack thereof. One of the things that we will quit doing is checking emails first thing in the mornings. How many of you actually roll to your night stand to get the phone and start reading right then in bed before you have even gotten up and ready for the day. The emails will not go anywhere so it is important to spend time on yourself when you get up. Once you have gotten up in the morning and got yourself ready for the day, remember to never start a project without a clear plan and timeline. With that down, figure out what tools you will need  as well as never setting unrealistic deadlines or goals. When you have a team together, you should understand that they will make mistakes just like you and it is important to never call them out in public. As the leader of the team, you should also never give yourself a pass and always be accountable. You are the role model to the rest of the team. Lastly, the most important part of the project is the team, so do not take them for granted.

  1. There are some great mobile applications that will help with time management and that keep you on track. You will never be missing any deadlines.

  2. It is also great when the mobile applications are about to sync your calendars and events. You need to find the right one that fits your work schedule though.

  3. I found that using cloud services has saved me a lot of time and headaches. It lets me use any device and keeps everything up to date.

  4. Cloud services also let you collaborate in real time. We work better as a team than ever before.
