August Workshop: Budgeting & Financial Plans....ughhhh



Well there was a slight change of plans and this week the workshop schedule was changed and lucky us had the very dull topic of financial planning and budgets. I'm not sure how this topic can be delivered in an interesting and relevant way but I certainly found it extremely boring and poorly prepared. It would have been more relevant if a team member could have presented it to us and shown us an actual budget and balance statement. 


This great article on the mind tools website, pretty much covers everything that we learnt. I may need more Excel training down the track. 

However it did make me think about my personal spending habits and how bad I am at sticking to the family budget. 

Following the workshop my project team got together and nutted out the next phase of our project. It is really great having such a great team of people to work with. My job is to finish off the literature review. So I must schedule this in.
