Choosing a blog topic and writing about it should not be an entirely difficult task for me, considering the plethora of random thoughts that fly around my head each day. However when I, a task driven project manager, am asked to write my first blog post ever for a company that I’ve just joined, where I am surrounded by uber creative people, my mind goes blank. Though I am not a procrastinator by nature, I find that I have become one, waiting to the very last minute to get this done. So, I am starting small. I am starting with what I know. That’s what ‘they’ all say to do anyway, right? Well, here goes. Here is (some of) what I know…
- Mad*Pow is full of some of the most brilliant, relaxed people I know.
- They work smart and then get to reap the rewards.
- Upper management here is genuinely concerned for the growth and success of all employees.
- It is a fast-paced place, this Mad*Pow milieu and I am getting up to speed.
- Lists are fantastic. They keep me sane and get me through the day.
- Process is a great thing.
- Developing one project process flow for creative and analytical minds to follow is a difficult thing – but can and will be done! Perhaps my next blog topic?
- I strive for perfection and get angry when I do not achieve it.
- A one hour commute to and from work makes for a long day, but audio books make time and traffic evaporate.
- Audio books can be expensive to buy. Libraries have them for free.
- Library websites are terrible. Another blog topic, perhaps?
- Making the transition from a small agency to Mad*Pow was the absolute right move to make.
