I'll be the first to admit, my time-management skills are subpar. I'm usually the type to wait until the last minute to complete an assignment. For these two projects, the group aspect of the sharps container helped hold me accountable for making sure I had that project done early. We set meeting times to solely focus on the container, and we all worked during that time to create the project.
Having a really busy schedule this semester, it wasn't easy finding time to work on my lantern project, but I set aside several hours one night a few days before the due date to get the framework down, so the final days would just be touch-ups and smaller alterations. Allotting a specific evening just for the project was the best use of my time, as that period was focused on that one thing.
Once I got the initial part of the project to be successful, that is, creating a reliable circuit, it was easy to find smaller blocks of time to tweak smaller aspects of the project.
Overall, it was a bit stressful having 2 projects due on the same day, but since I was finished before the night before, and didn't have to panic at the last minute, I would call this a successful job of time management.
