The Schedule
I have a spreadsheet that lists all the tasks I have yet to do on the Interstellar Pleasure Barge along with the estimated number of "days" it'll take to complete each. I designed is so that if I did a reasonable amount of work every day I would complete the project in time without overly stressing myself. At the bottom of the spreadsheet I have it display the total number days of work remaining, the estimated day of completion and the number of "slack days" between the completion date and the deadline date (which I choose to be the Thursday before we leave for the playa). Whenever I finish a task (like, "build lower nose-cone folding panels" or "paint upper railings") I delete it from the list and all the values change to reflect the state of the project.
Currently I have -1.89 slack days which means that I'm nearly two days behind schedule. That doesn't mean that I'm going to blow the deadline, it just means that for a couple days I have to work twice as hard as I normally would in order to get back on track. If the weather continues to be as "nice" as it was today I might actually be able to do that.
