When planning an event it’s important to prioritize. You have to determine what needs to be done, what needs to be accomplished and what tasks are time-critical. Once you have determined the major tasks, you want to have it in a logical order. This way you are getting done what needs to be done first. Next, you want to have the tasks to be broken down into a sequence of sub-tasks, this will give you clarity while prioritizing. This is key because you are handling the entire event…from broadcasting to the strokes of the smallest possible details. Prioritizing means more than just a list of “to do’s”…it may require you to research, analyze and make determination and decisions.
