Three months

Published: Tuesday, 29 January 2013

In the first three months, Robogals Melbourne was formed (July ~ September 2008).

In the next three, I got to know London and Europe (October 2008 ~ January 2009).

In the third three, I worked with Aakanksha Chhikara, who set up Robogals London.  I also planned a large event for Robogals.  (February 2009 ~ April 2009).

The next three, I began planning a conference to expand Robogals throughout Australia and continued planning the large event.  (May 2009 ~ July 2009).

The next two, more conference planning and holding a successful big event (August ~ September 2009).

The next three, managing the expansion of Robogals throughout Australia (October 2009 ~ January 2010).

The next three, expanding Robogals throughout the UK.  (February 2010 ~ April 2010).

You can achieve anything if you break it up into 3-month manageable chunks of "done" that includes room for failures, self-assessment, reflecting and learning lessons to help you get to the next stage.
