With so many moving parts and last-minute changes, what are your go-to strategies for staying on top of time management in your department — I sometimes struggle due to the tight deadlines we get set in props- how do you keep the chaos organised before it becomes a crisis?

Totally get that—props can be absolute mayhem with all the shifting needs. I’ve found that keeping a super detailed tracker (even just a colour-coded spreadsheet) helps me see what’s urgent vs. what’s moving. And regular check-ins with the team keep surprises to a minimum (well, most of the time!).

Yes I agree, we have a shared spreadsheet with set dec to try and keep everything on track!

It might be a bit easier in my department but I’m usually able to multitask jobs if I really have to. It’s definitely a struggle and take a lot more effort as things can go wrong so much easier but it helps a lot with the tight deadlines.

Yes I try to multitask but then sometimes people keep questioning why I haven’t prioritised their task.

ow

Yes!
