由于 FreeMind 的稳定和接口明晰,竟然可以这么玩!?!? 好哪!可以借用,,, 2008/12/16 yyq <yyq123在gmail.com> > > http://freelanceswitch.com/working/managing-multiple-freelance-gigs-with-mind-maps/ > > The Process > > *Work Grid Setup* > The general setup process is to produce a grid of days versus tasks. Using > MindJet MindManager's "organization chart" mode, I've produced the example > mind map above. Here are the basic steps I applied: > > 1. Produce a row of "day" nodes. > 2. Use node color and shape to distinguish "day" from "task" nodes. > I've used a hexagon shape and a blue background to mark days. For tasks, > I've used a "rounded rectangle" but different colors indicate the "value" of > the task. Not all mind mapping packages offer this, but most offer a choice > of node colors. > 3. For each day, add a list of tasks that you hope to accomplish. Don't > worry about the order just yet. Make your task nodes distinct by "value. In > my example: > - Green is a billable task. > - Orange is a task that leads up to billable work. E.g., scope or > plan for a project. > - Salmon pink is research leading to another type of task. > 4. For any project that cannot be completed in a single day, break it > down into related tasks and assign one or more tasks to various days. (I > usually mark only the final sub-task as being billable, because that > includes delivery to the client.) > 5. Give each task and project a short code, to keep the grid compact. > Codes might repeat across the grid. > 6. For a task that is actually billable, write the value in brackets. > You can see in a zoomed in snapshot further down this article that I've only > written in values for green task nodes. But for a given project, I might use > 2-3 other task colors to indicate scoping, research or editing tasks. These > tasks lead to billable activity but are not in themselves billable. How you > break this up is entirely up to you. Small projects that can be completed > all in one work session do not need to be broken down into multi-day tasks. > 7. Use a spreadsheet to total up each day's billables, based on your > initial breakdown. MindJet allows insertion of their own spreadsheets or a > "window" to an Excel spreadsheet, so that's what I've used in this example > (see somewhere below). You could also use Open Office or Google > Spreadsheets. > > This grid view allows you to easily adjust your schedule so that you're not > slacking one day and sweating the next. Remember to adjust your billables > spreadsheet accordingly. > > Here is another view, below, of the same work grid, with some of the mind > map lines removed, and manually-added relationship lines (dotted) between > groups of related tasks. (This makes moving items around much easier to > track.) > > *Work Grid Usage* > At the start of your work day, try to estimate how much time it'll take you > to complete scheduled tasks. Even if you don't think you'll make them all, > leave the tasks where they are. > > Assess your work at the end of day: > > 1. Check off completed items. I prefer not to delete older tasks, so I > simply hide them under a collapsed "day" node. It's easier to track work > this way, without having clutter. > 2. Consider your work grid to be organic. If an item was not completed, > move it the next appropriate day. If it's a chain of related tasks, you'll > have to adjust the subsequent ones as necessary. > 3. Adjust your billables spreadsheet to reflect the actual work you > completed today and the estimated work for the future. I usually try to map > out no more than 2-3 weeks at a time. As I complete a week and hide the work > log nodes, I add another week. > > Here is a closeup snapshot of a sample freelance work grid, complete with > MindManager native spreadsheet fragment.
