01. Define your objectives
In order to effectively use your resources to accomplish any goal or objective, you must be able to clearly define what those objectives are, why they are, and exactly how you will be able to make it happen. It is important, therefore, that you ask yourself key questions, starting with the following questions:
- What am I trying to create?
- Why am I trying to get this done?
- How – Of the available options, which format is best suited to help me effectively merge my what and my why?
02. Assess your resources
Once you’ve gotten clear on your goals and objectives, the next step is to do an assessment of the resources you have on hand, starting with your tech devices and other important creative tools and equipment. As you begin your assessment, consider the following questions:
- What devices do I have?
- What are the features and limitations of said devices?
- In what ways can I maximise the possibilities and work around the limitation?
PRO TIP: Time and talent are resources too and they are often overlooked. Be sure to consider them as you complete your assessment.
