See, I do not always think about eyelashes (see previous). Sometimes (I agree, it is rare), I do think about work. Like, for example, I was thinking about this one little thing about my job that is bothering me. I do some managerial work in a certain company (go privacy!!), and sometimes the work load becomes too high, meaning, there are so many projects to work on, and there are so many people to work with on every single one of those projects that it does get sad…Honestly! So, since computers are our good friends, is there some sort of a program that would help a manager solve all those problems at the most efficient level? And yes, there is!
After searching the Internet for about 12 sec, I found out that there are a number of project management software programs that basically take care of all the annoying planning, collaboration, etc, etc. Some of these programs are web-based project management software, not computer- based, but still, they do so much! They allow for project tracking, labeling (i.e., finished, in progress, needs to be done right now, etc, etc), task assignment, time left calculation, and so much more! Indeed, the project manager software is really bliss to a manager like me, who is running around with a bunch of papers stalked together, and never knowing what to find on which little paper. I love organizing, but, hey, sometimes it just gets to be so messy that I start to hate organizing! The project management software is so good for this.
Another thing I like so much about these project management programs is that they use the Gantt charts (for those of us that are a bit confused, a Gantt chart is like a progress chart, it shows you where you are in terms of your progress, how much you got done, and how much is left to do). I mean, I pretty much always know what it is that I am doing, but when you are working on like five projects and people that work with you on those screw you up, you don’t know anymore where exactly you are. The progress charts are just great for these little confusions! (I wish they were little…but they really are not!!). So yes, go Gantt charts, and go project management software!!
