As I have moved through the project, I have been keeping track of it on a google spreadsheet. I also have a digital to-do list that I update and that automatically rolls over to the next day if I don’t complete something. It’s set as my home page.
I’ve stayed pretty much on track, but I’ve been lagging a little bit the last two weeks because of senior show stuff. I’m not quite behind yet though. I’ve been updating my progress on my timetable whenever I make a more dramatic change. The most up-to-date timeline is below.
As of right now, on the morning of March 6, 2020, I am almost halfway done with my objects/pieces. Today I am doing my paper and tomorrow I am doing my sculpture (which I have materials for). I’m completing my packaging by Sunday I think.
The four items at the bottom are production based- this deals with the culmination of all of my work into a book, which I’ve decided to hand-make to make sure it feels just as melancholy as the rest of the items. The “printing” on the timeline will actually be the physical creation of the book.
I think I will stay on track with everything as long as I keep up with my to-do list and my bigger spreadsheet. Over spring break I think I’ll get a lot done since I won’t have classes to worry about. I plan on trying to get a little bit ahead during that time so that I can relax. I’ve been good about keeping up and I am in a good spot right now – I’m not too stressed about getting everything done (just a little bit).
