Re: For Mentors Only: Inspiring Youth

The one thing we've been focused on is prioritizing and time management. It's worked for the most part, but there are always kinks that need to be worked out. Speaking of, 1089 found and developed a great project management script for our team. It's called Dot Project, and it allows you to set up projects with timelined deadlines, assign individuals to a project, track the progress of the project etc.

You can find the software here: http://www.dotproject.net/demo/
Here's the tutorial on how to use it, as well: http://psdam.mit.edu/rise/tutorials/...anagement.html

I sympathize with your post, Rick, I'm sure most mentors do. Just remember, even if they do it the long way, at least they're learning!
