Me and My Projects...

Anybody who knows me knows I am very methodical about the tasks I undertake. I mean, anything that needs to get done, I will do it but all the details have to be broken down into sequences and each step has to be in order, it's my OCD. I also have to have all of the tools and materials ready for the job. Because if I have to stop due to missing materials or tools, it will frazzle my concentration. And once I start, I have to finish. I also don't like to be rushed because the job has to be done right or I might as well not do it at all.

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'!!
