My idea
Organize my master’s program projects and assignments
Where it got hung up
Juggling academics, work, and kids at home, I felt overwhelmed. I thought the challenges I faced were entirely unique; meaning no one would understand what I was grappling with. I knew I was spending too much time addressing the same tasks many times over, but I didn’t know how to set myself up for success. I assumed I had to sacrifice my personal time to get it all done. I felt stuck.
I got traction
I was pleasantly surprised to find that working with a project coach reduced my feelings of isolation. Together, we mapped out a plan to organize projects on a visual way. This helped me see where I was going. I was able to concentrate on the content of my work because I could fall back on the map for direction. I found the value goes beyond my original purpose by building scaffolding for other uses. I feel more confident taking on complex projects and capable managing the work.
You can too
I was unaware that project coaching was applicable to me. I assumed that consulting was limited to the business realm and maybe you do too. But I learned foundational building blocks that I’ve applied to myriad tasks and projects. This service helped me build practices that fit my life, discovering really practical tools to get my stuff done. Engaging What by When positively changed my quality of life by generating more time to relax.
