Planning your time 1

Sometimes, when people are preparing for a big event, they make a time plan. It can be as simple as a list of dates with details about things to be done, or it can be a very complex wall chart, showing different diaries for everyone involved, with many overlapping activities.

Have you ever been involved in anything where there was a time plan, or where a time plan might have been useful? You might have been organising something as part of a group, or it could be something you did on your own.

(Hint – party, wedding, holiday, moving house, preparing for exams.)
