To prepare for any task I undertake, I gather up all the intelligence for the project. I will pour over articles, google it and watch videos on YouTube. I will then make a supply list, see what I already have and or hunt for the best deals out there. I will write a step by step plan and then set the start date. I will estimate an end date but I am very flexible with that. Even if it's a project/job I have done many times, I still review how to do it, as technology is always evolving and there is always a chance new materials and or techniques will make the task easier for me.
And when my job is complete, there is nothing more satisfying than it being a 'job well done'!!
