How do you plan, organize & prioritize your daily tasks?
Written by K T Madhusudan
In this article we want to bring out the importance of daily planning & monitoring for a project to be in control.
No 1. The daily tasks should be a subset of a larger plan which again should have been broken down from a goal you have for your project (any project).
No 2. Create a To Do list for the day on the previous day end
No 3. This to do should have activities for the day, whatever you can complete with a bit of stretching(don't make it too easy). Have a column for Activities completed Yes/ No(Reasons for non completion, which is the lessons learned ). Mention potential risks & how they will be tackled.
No 4. Morning of the day conduct a stand up meeting with each trade presenting their lists as above, to promote collaboration, which is vital.
No 5. Learn lessons from non complete activities, include in next day's list & keep going with this cycle.

Give Yourself a Great Start To The New Year
Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment. After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

“Weight-Train” Your Brain
I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old?

OK, fine,
