0.1 Being organised

Before we begin, I would make a strong plea to organise yourself3 and keep track of what you have done and what you need to do. This need not be very complex, but there will be a lot of (often small) practical tasks and progress depends upon completing them in the right order (and in good time). There are many options for check-list tools and you may already have evolved an effective personal process4 but now could be a good time to review how you manage such things. As input to your check-list process I will make available simple to-do lists each week as text files. You can paste them into anything from a spreadsheet, Evernote to Trello or even simply print the list!

Decide on your personal to-do / checklist system right from the start of this module. Make sure you keep up to date. Weekly checklists (as text files) can be grabbed from here
