• What do you plan to do over the coming week?

• What are your priorities for keeping your project on track?

• How long will tasks take? Who do you need to collaborate with? What will your role in the process be?

• Set yourself a series of achievable next-steps for the week ahead. make sure your plan is realistic and takes into account any obstacles or challenges you might face
