After going through the exercise of creating a Work Breakdown Structure, I was surprised at how difficult it was for me to break down the actual work without the expertise of a team. Coming from a tech background I understood at a higher level what would be needed to execute this project, but found breaking things into bitesize subtasks down trickier than I originally thought it'd be. I found System Design to be the easiest main task to break down because I’ve had to do that for work. Development was definitely the hardest for me. To me, this emphasizes the need for your project team and SMEs in their respective areas to be able to plan a project effectively.

Fridays are often seen as the gateway to the weekend, but they can also be a powerful day to set the tone for the week ahead. By maximizing productivity on Friday, you can enjoy your weekend with a sense of accomplishment and start the next week on the right foot. - Plan and Prioritize: Begin your Friday by reviewing your to-do list. Identify the most critical tasks and focus on completing them. Prioritizing effectively can prevent a last-minute rush. - Clear the Clutter: Spend some time organizing your workspace. A tidy environment not only helps you think clearly but also sets a positive tone for the start of the next week. - Reflect and Review: Take a few minutes to reflect on your achievements from the week. Reviewing what worked well and what didn't can provide valuable insights for the future. - Prepare for Monday: Consider setting up your tasks for the upcoming week.
