It really depends on the scale of the project. —

I believe that mind-mapping really helps in doing a collective mind-sweep/mind-dump. Its part of the “natural planning model” taught by David Allen from his two books Getting Things Done and Making it all Work. It lays everything out in front of you and have a bird’s eye view of what’s there.

From there you simply eliminate the unneeded stuff, define the critical elements, assign the right people, and make sure everyone executes (especially yourself).

I believe this is an important skill for all of us to develop. Regarding comments, all I can say is keep going akhee, bigger and brighter, shattering standards. Don't let up your pace - may Allah protect you. I feel hypocritical commenting specifically on your objectives since I've never come close to pursuing or mapping out similar goals. That is what I am working on now, getting some momentum and trying to be a part of something truly valuable and important. Question: when it comes to planning a particular project, what do you do? Brainstorm on a note pad? Or a blank sheet of paper? Do you use mind map software or some other tool? What are the questions you start with, once you have decided to pursue a project, how do you go about breaking it down? jazakallaahukhair in advance for your time I like your objectives piece of this post – you’ve become adept at organizing your mind and letting us in on it which is super cool.

Can you post his 6 min promo for God-Speak on HalalTube? Belal, can you send us the files for some of the FAQs on UnderstandArabic? I'd like to make 2 or 3 public to all, to give them a taste of what they would see by submitting their name and email. After God-Speak inshaAllah we'll be restructuring the website and make it more navigational.. because we'll be uploading all of Bayyinah's promo videos, trailers, and some lectures on there, inshaAllah.

(Time, Health, Youth, Wealth, Life). I definitely am gonna start making some goals right now for this year. Also, I read Love Noted, (the older version of the script)...it seems it needs to be a bit revised, but I assume since this was an older version, it has been. (Also I was surprised that the ending voice of reason had my name :p ) MashaAllah wasalaamu Alaikum wow…this brings so much more meaning to those 5 things the Prophet (S) told us to take advantage of before 5 things.
