the power of deadline

It just couple days before the retreat actually commences. I am really tired but I am glad that everything finished before the deadline. All the committees work really hard for this especially the event manager of this retreat. This event is really important for the organization because this is a big annual event that gives the opportunity to expand even bigger in the Indonesian catholic community. Besides being in charge of the schedule and event, I was given the duty to design the guidebook which I like to do. However, as my old laptop just broke, and I had changed into an apple computer, I had a hard time adjusting the programs that I use so I used a basic Microsoft word, which is terribly hard. There is a lot of thing that I learnt because of the preparation of this retreat. Never ever wait until the deadline, I waited the deadline until I started working a week before the retreat started. It was not a good idea. Because the unexpected things may happen and if we delay until the end, we would not have to time to solve the unexpected. I also learnt that as a public relations that organize an event we have to be strict with the time management and planning, because the first meeting was not going so well because the planning was off and no one was doing any research whatsoever.
