Another AIESEC week just started

Monday, again. EB and PM-meeting. Loooong meeting, we have so much to discuss, so much to go through. We are prepared for long meetings. ut people get tired and unfocused towards the end, we need more structure, and a fika break maybe. Yes, next time I'll fix that. Got some good input on making the meetings better.

But yeah, the creativity lever is high, the motivation level as well... I think. Some people are feeling it is becoming too much AIESEC already, and that before we even have got started (!). No now I wasn't fair, some people have been having high activity since day one. So I can understand that feeling. Many of us feel that we have unbalance in our lives between AIESEC and school. That is not good, that is not sustainable.

So now the week has started, and that at full-speed from the beginning. We have to get the konference team to start working, and to choose an OCP. Two people have shown interest, I will speak with them tomorrow and see if they have what it takes and if they know what it will require from them, in terms of time and effort and responsability. So that I will fix tomorrow, and the rest of the OC on wednesday.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with the project managers, just to coordinate and to set expectations a bit, between themselves and me, etc. I also need to make sure they start the work.

Besides this I might have to maybe give a hand to my TM about the job descriptions. I also have to book training with Joao and LC-visit with Joanna. Also develop the task-forces we have been speaking about (communicating AIESEC+ social ativities). And yeah, write down the expectations we set today, put down the minutes and send out wednesday the latest, and yes some thing else I think. Oh and the one2one-talks! Shit, that too! I need to get it planned by wednesday I think.... But the business cards are at least ordered by now.

Puh.
It has REALLY started by now. And it is amazing; Even if I just would do just the very very most important, like the minimum, the time would hardly be enough! And to be ambitious and to try to give your best, there is not time for that!
I ENVY the LCPs that have this as their full-time job. You lucky bastards! I am having SO much things to do, all the time, totally busy. But I am loving every second of it. And what a nice feeling... To feel that you are totally in control of everything, even though

My team is must wonderful and it was surpringsingly how HAPPY I became when we did some AIESEC-dances after the meeting. And yes, they are totally in for an AIESEC-dance session after the next LC-meeting. :) Also I am very happy that we finally managed to book a day for teambuilding! yay!!
Me I have to become more tolerant and more patient.

Challenges coming up: accountability, how to structure that up? A question I will that discuss with the P-team (LCPs + MCP) And, develop a system for how to make team efforts, and to level of the work among the team when some people are having too much to do. How do I make sure we all contribute the same amount?
I left the office 21.40. Well. We have a nice office. ;-)

Sleep.

Gnight. I will probably dream abut AIESEC. I do it often nowadays. Good or bad sign? :D
