DEADLINES!

My time at the Department for Communities is soon coming to an end. One insight I would like to share with you is the importance of deadlines.

I have learnt that you definitely need to be prepared and organised everyday so that you can reach a deadline before it is due. Leaving things too late could cost you a client or even your job. It is vital to have deadlines in projects and normal activities so you are motivated to reach your desired goal on time.

During my time at my placement, all the meetings I have attended have emphasised the importance of deadlines!!! When working in a team, it is essential that all members know their deadlines for their own tasks and the end date for the whole project.

At the office, employees use Microsoft Outlook Calender to book in all their meetings. They also have individual whiteboards on their walls and wall calendars to mark in important deadlines. By utilising these tools regularly, you can become more organised and prepared to reach your deadlines.
