To stay organized requires good time management. But sometimes it seems like an impossible task to accomplish.
I had a client project that exploded! In order for us to reach our ultimate goal (to have his merchandise put into three local Wal-Mart stores) included a major, major inspection that was going to cost quite a bit of money - with the hopes that he would pass. The project needed to be totally organized in order to meet some quick deadlines. We had 60 days to pull together what should have taken at least 6 months. But, I accepted the challenge and here are some tips from what I learned in the process.
The guideline that I was given to follow was very vague. (7 pages of vagueness). Nothing was specific...some definite thinking "outside the box" was going to be required. My guidelines were not specific and I was not fully aware of the language that was used. It was generic to me but yet specific to what the inspector would be looking for.
So, how was I going to manage my time to make this happen? I laid out my thought process on a roadmap.
1. Think logically - do research. Make a working log.
