Capt. Varchar(MAX) and the Pagelatch Posse Vol. 14

This post was inspired by the SQL Quiz going around that that Chris started, while humorous, can help us learn from each others mistakes.

Over the years, I have gone from a mental project plan to notepad to excel to MS project. My success % has increased and fire fights have decreased for major changes. I recommend it.

A Mental(ly Disturbed) Note

The comic template was adapted from OfficeOFFline.

You would not believe the, well, brute-force pile of OneNote items that I use to keep my task list under control. This is for prioritizing multiple projects, not for project management, but still this rang a bell. In my case, "I made a OneNote of it" is the difference between good intentions and actually following through (at least eventually). Maybe I should go back to mental notes - less accountability that way. :O)
