What is something you have learned about yourself in the past three months of being at SHM?

Dallas/Philly

While most people are going to be in Dallas for the week, there will be plenty to do back in Philadelphia. I've received several assignments from Jacqui that need completion and have added them to my tasks in Outlook. I hope to stay focused throughout the week by breaking down my assignments into smaller goals for each day. It should be a fun and productive week.

Preparation:
To guarantee that I am prepared for the week ahead I have received a list of 13 tasks with my name on it. Some people may believe '13' to be an unlucky number but many of ya'll will be flying home on Friday the 13th! However, mathematically I'm thinking they'll cancel each other out.

Ensure productivity:
A week without supervision is a challenge when it comes to project motivation. Why do something if nobody is here to check that it's been completed, right? Wrong. That's exactly the kind of attitude that will lead you down the path to failure in life. And I'm flying on a non-stop flight to success.

Bonus:
Like the hit TV series 'America's Best Dance Crew?' Stay tuned for some break out moves I've been keeping under wraps in our video posts next week!

RAGER

Obviously we're going to throw a huge rager here while everyone's gone. Duhhhh. After we rage I'm sure DeeDee will be keeping me plenty busy. I know I have some filing work ahead of me, and we have to upload stuff to 5pm (we had a training in it today). I'm going to start working on my big chapter project and hopefully have a good chunk of it done by the beginning of June. I'm obsessed with to-do lists so that will definitely be how I will stay on track over the course of the week. Other than that, the MA's have some grand plans. And when I say grand I mean graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand. Everyone in Dallas is definitely going to be amused by our AMAZING videos. :]

Freedom!!!!

While the others are gone, Kat will be keeping me in line with lots of design projects. In the off chance that she doesn't, Meesh, Joan, Andrew and myself have come up with a line-up of fun, engaging activities that we can use to better SHM while entertaining ourselves. Everyone in Dallas will be jealous!

HM2011

In attempt to stay busy this up coming week I will meet with the QI team to review all tasks that can be done. To make sure I am productive I usually keep a task list of when things should be completed. In addition to tasks that Ann, Lauren, Taylor, and Wendy may give me, I will work closely with Joanne, who will be staying in the office, and assist her with any tasks she may need done. I also look forward to work more with the other co-ops during the hm2011 week!

While they're gone

In less than a week, most of the office is shipping out and moving to Dallas for a few days.

How are you going to prepare yourself for their absence this week?
How will you ensure your productivity does not lag while they are gone?
