There was a story about a kid who get an assignments to do research about all kind of birds in the world. I forgot the exact story, maybe he got punished for something, but he had to finish it. After writing and cutting pictures of birds, he told his dad, “how am I supposed to finished this task? This is too much for me to handle.”

His dad came to him, and said, “Son, do it bird by bird..”

The inspiration of my blog’s title is from a personal experience as a student producer. I have been posting a lot about jobs, salaries and interviews, but I have not professionally tell you about the background of the title!

Besides being a student producer as I mentioned, I am also a full time student, and have part time job on the side. I love people, so I compromise my time to socialize and meeting new people. How do I do it all? They all seem too much to handle for one person. As my mentor always told me, one day at a time!

What is your bird?

Let me tell you about my 2 important morning routines:

When I wake up at 6.30 am, I always go to my phone, check every single email that has been sent to me while I was sleeping. It is important, because an online student might asking an urgent questions that I have to reply right away. I made sure that there are no un-read messages in my email.

Then I checked my SLACK. This is a FREE communication platform that is very useful for any type of professional organizations/companies. They have a chat room for groups and individual, you can set your “work/active” hour, share links, make notes, pin important stuff in your group, and emojis!

Slack is available from desktop, so even if my phone is off because I forgot to charge it overnight, when I open my laptop, I set Slack app to open automatically, and give me live notifications.

By checking the most important communication platform every morning, I get to be on top of all my schedule. This is for example, when my artist slack me right from HongKong, that he couldn’t make it to class, I get to prepared to assign his shot for others that are available.

If you are working on a project, and feel overwhelmed, feel free to try on my morning routines, and sign up your workspace in Slack and make yourself available for your teamwork whenever and wherever.
