"Of course, it depends on the situation. Examining the work at hand, I'll compile all of the information I have to start with. From there, I'll determine what information I'm lacking, organize that information in a cohesive manner, creating flow and transitions based on the priorities at hand. An organized bullet-pointed list, in a way, is sorted based on priority. Then, examining the time I have to manage, what makes the most sense as far as preventing rework, and what work can be built off of as a foundation for the work at hand, I'll create a strategy on how to approach the work, getting a better idea of realistic time frame."
