Time Strategies

Time management is one of the most important skills you should master as it helps to manage the workload and finish your tasks on time. If I talk about my own time management, I always look at the workload 7-14 days (about 2 weeks) ahead and estimate which tasks are going to take more time and schedule to complete them first. Also, I plan my week ahead and write down how many hours are for studying, always minus the time I spend walking my dog, cooking for him as he is on a special diet and, I minus time I spent in the gym, so of this I have an idea how much I can do. If it takes a bit longer to finish a certain task, I finish it anyway as my plan was to finish it on a certain day. Here the power of my checklist plays a great part. 

and absolutely agree that the satisfaction. and the power of checklist can help you to stay motivated and do your planned work on time or even ahead and if you manage to stick to your plan, you do not feel overwhelmed  at the end of the semester.

Also, the article "Increase your  output with 14 time management tips just for creatives"  was interesting and useful as it is about creative management tips, which   I am going to try on top of what I am doing now.

    I think it's a good idea looking at the workload and seeing what's ahead so you know how to prepare. Your dog must be getting the best meals for his diet!😁 I have a checklist too and I agree that it is the best part to check off something because once you do you get that satisfaction of accomplishing a task.

                                                                                   Hi,My name is Svetlana and welcome to my Multimedia development blog. I am from Moscow, Russia, but have been living in Ireland for the last 20 years. Studying at The Third Level was always my dream, but I had to wait for the right moment. My son was a professional tennis player and It was a full time job for me, so I said to myself, when I am free , I am studying and here I am in TU Dublin and I love it. Hope you will enjoy my blog and I will learn how to do it properly. I am a very creative person and have lots of hobbies, not sure whether it is a good or bad thing ;) My main hobby is learning new things, that is probably why CDM was my choice. I love photography and believe I am pretty good at this.  I do commercial photoshoots from time to time and love working with models and creative make-up artists.  Web design and everything connected to it as well are my favourite things.

So now my player is moving side to  side,  I have quite realistic  forest with trees, I also know what I am doing next week. For next week I would like to place a proper player  not just a  cylinder  that is  moving,  then I will organise falling objects from the  sky, I know what code to  apply,  so it is  going  to be just coding next  week,  so I hope my game will be working next week and all I  must  d o is to clean code and double check whether everything works.   T hat is my plan for next week.

Project Design Document           I would like to present my first  Project  Design Document for the Multimedia Module  that is aimed to help me to be able to prepare a well  organised  plan and get me ready when it comes to  start developing my first game      Why do we need to create Project Design  Document?   Preparing all the documentations ready before you start designing your game  is normally thought to be the most boring part of Game Design, even  game designers mention it in their tutorials, but it does not have to be. The well organised  Project Design Document can help you and your team to have a better  understand  what you are expected to. Produce at the end  of the  entire process . It can speed up your  work and  avoid the obstacles that can appe ar during Design.  So,  referring to your Document can be a quite useful tool .       Project Design  Document Sections:     The name of the Game   Location   Back story   Obstacles   Objects   Sound   Goals   Unique aspects
