209 - Project Planner
Hi and thanks for dropping in.
Every now and then I see people posting updates on their
blogs with their project progress displayed in table form or as a list with
certain tasks marked off.
Well I’ve been keeping a similar sort of table for quite
a while and figured as I’ve been quiet on the blog that I would share my
progress table.
Each model/squad/item I’m working on has a list of the
next actions required. The actions that are done are marked in green and those
that are ongoing are marked in orange. Actions that haven’t started are in
white – there is a lot of white!
Unfortunately, as some of these projects haven't really been started, there are a lot of actions. So to keep things a bit more concise, I've only include 5 actions.
Now be warned, there are 60 items on this list:

As you can see, I've got a lot to be getting on with.
What are your views on tracking progress? Is it something you find motivates you to finish projects?
Thanks for stopping by, I better head off and get to work on something off the list.

Of course it's good to know where you're at with the plastic crack mountain.
I like your approach, you've obviously braved the cupboard of doom and given all the tasks some thought - there is a definite shape (ie coherent military sub units adding up to a believable formation) to what you're doing.
I try to do annual (and sometimes six monthly) status updates about the whole Devos IV project. However this year I decided to cut my cloth to fit my resources (time) and so there are only four things on it now, despite there being a ton of stuff in the garage.
And no, I have no idea when it will actually all be done and what the executors of my will are going to do with it all. Hopefully that's still a little way off, but still, has to be a consideration.
@ Zzzzzz - the cupboard of doom is in eye shot every time I enter the man cave.
I enjoy your progress updates, especially the new additions.
Thanks for the support.
