        Every five years or so I like to perform one of those personality
        tests, either Myers–Briggs or the simpler True Colors. I know self
        assessments are not the ideal and some people question these tests in
        themselves, but they have helped and continue to help me.
       
        For example, I consistently score low on personality attributes
        associated with structure and organization (in True Colors speak,
        golden is my lowest score). So every time I do one of these tests, I
        remind myself to pain attention to details regarding organization
        and project management.
       
        The organic way I plan and execute my work and personal projects
        usually lack a detailed plan and this increases the risks. I know
        many of my projects get side-tracked because of lack of organization.
        So investing some time doing some project management is a good
        investment, the problem is this doesn't come naturally to me and my
        fluency writing plans or keeping track of them isn't ideal.
       
        So this last two weeks I spent some time with some project managers
        at work, observing and refactoring some easy to follow processes and
        workflows to apply on my projects. This provides a reinvigorating
        breath of fresh air on my self organization and I can see the results
        of my work more clearly. I like it!
       
        So far I've come up with a brief, easy to write and easy to follow
        project plan template document, a quick and low overhead project
        review process and two tools to keep track of tasks and milestones.
