Backlog

I have a few topics to write about this month. I will list the topics below:

in a taxi headed to Microsoft
- charity beach photography project for children with autism
- SQL Saturdays seminar at Microsoft in Manhattan
- making gelato in NYC using a $20,000 culinary machine
- preparing my 4th toastmaster speech
- creating a supervisory guide regarding employee development and growth

My goal is to write very detailed blogs on these topics this September. August was a month full of busy weekends, a few marketing projects and career growth projects. In regards to my supervisory guide, I plan to launch a independent research project on the subject which will include a test sample of at least 100 corporate professionals. To date this project is currently an eight page document which includes topics on personal performance analysis, cross training, and improving self efficacy.

Hopefully by the end of this week a well written agenda will accommodate my efforts towards completing these task. Sometimes I feel it easiest to foster many ideas but it is harder to organize them into measurable results. Have you ever felt yourself entering into several projects only to realize you have a backlog of task to complete?

Things to consider:

Prioritize the list.
Consider what feelings would occur as a result of completion.
Anticipate delays.
Don't let delays cripple your progression.
Keep a list of goals posted in an office space or at home as a reminder.
Never give up!





Hey! Take my survey and see what others think when tackling project goals:
Projects, backlogs and determination

Costume: Easy DIY Devo Energy Dome Under $3

This (hat) energy dome is inspired by the 80ies band Devo's hit song, "Whip it". Devo Whip - Song If you are looking for a fun 80ies costume or you just really love Devo here is a great way to recreate the energy dome! The materials I used will be listed below. See my 30 second #DIY #Costume video here: I cut my shapes out free hand, but if you use a foam circle or measuring rulers the appearance can be fined tuned! Materials : Two red poster boards Tape ruler personal hat as a size reference ruler bobby pins apple red inside spray paint - "I took the hat out doors to spray it." Once the energy dome is complete grab a guitar (I used my Wii guitar hero controller), or any other instrument from the Whip It video. To secure the dome to your head you may need to affix a hair pin, wig clips, or cut a whole in the bottom to balance it.  *(caution: test all scenarios (clips/paint/glue) before wearing the dome to ensure comfort and no reactions)  This...

Go outside and enjoy nature

Go ou tsi de The Cape of Good Hope Often my life is structured around schedules, hours of operation, academic goals, appointments and commuting. It is normal to plan your week around a schedule of activities that fill certain time slots each day. Even when free time sneaks into my schedule I wonder what new hobby or venue to pursue in hopes of making the best of my spare time. Boschendal - The Cellar Door South Africa Tropic of Capricorn Kruger National Park This week I realized one of the best things to do with spare time is to just go outside. Our schedules are filled with time constraints due to work requirements, academics, and other life activities. However, when spare time arises I often forget nature is only a step away. One of the most refreshing ways to start a day is to sit outside and read (weather permitting). There have been multiple subjects I have wanted to read about, but often my motivation to develop a reading schedule “indoors” has...

Susan G. Komen of Central & South New Jersey Donation Letter From Valarie

Thank you for scanning the QR code and visiting my blog. This is probably the largest effort I've taken to raise money for a cause. I am hoping to personally bring in a few large companies as executive sponsors. As stated in my letter we are looking for both monetary donations in general and raffle items. I will include a link to the Susan G. Komen of Central and South NJ website. KomenCSNJ IMPACT Lunch Komen CSNJ Facebook Goal:  Reduce current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% within the next decade. A little about my efforts. Annually, I work on a winter warmth drive to benefit The Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
