Another review of my project

How I prioritised tasks, strengths and weaknesses I am facing, and how I will manage my time as I continue my project.     Firstly, I have found that I have settled into this method of planning very smoothly and it is making my research much more time effective as I don't have to spend excess time deciding on a new point of research every time I begin a post. As I already have access to a short list of the most important points of research for the coming month or so, I simply have to refer to that to immediately get an idea of what to research. So by creating a list of things I am interested in researching during every review of my project, I am in the flow of understanding where I want to progress so can choose ideas more quickly.     Since March 14th 2020, I have changed my path a little from my short-term plan but I have still stuck to 4 out of 5 of the goals I set out to achieve by April 30th.
