No, don't worry nothing too troubling, just Minecraft (which is only the most super fun game EVER!)
and TV shows (How I met your mother, House, Big bang theory, Dexter, Game of Thrones),
ow and of course Anime (One Piece, Fairy Tail, Naruto)
Those were the addictions, which is about half my life in the present day...
The other half is school, mainly trying to discover what I can do in a big project like school projects.
And after one year, which is 3 group projects and 1 solo-project, I still didn't know quite well what I could do as an individual or a team-member, I can do all the things needed, the problem is somebody can do it better than me... I can draw a little, but not too great, I can model, not great, but good enough, I can animate good enough, but not great, I can program great, but not the best... And so on and so forth...
So what am I to do when we work on a big project and there is always someone better at what I can do?
Luckily, I found this video about being a producer:
http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/so-you-want-to-be-a-producer
And after I watched the video I immediately decided, okay, let's try that role in this project (2nd year, first project) And I sort of succeeded, the only few things that didn't go so great were:
- I had gotten tasks that needed to be done, which in turn had this effect:
- I couldn't/didn't monitor what everyone was doing, which in turn had this effect:
- In the first couple of weeks people didn't communicate their works and doing good enough, only in the last couple of weeks we finally got our heads together and thought of something promising.
The main lesson from this project was for me that everyone should keep their roles and make the decisions in that role. Communicate to someone what those decisions are, and let that someone decide to ask it to the group if this is good or bad or just to say that it's decided this way. This way, you won't get hours and hours of discussions, only comments on why it's good or why it's bad. And maybe not even that, maybe you get an OK from that someone and he says it's good, maybe a little change here and there, but it's good nonetheless.
But keep in mind that this is a role in itself, communicating with everyone about what they're doing, telling them this is good and this is bad. It could be done by a project leader, but he/she should be working on planning ahead and knowing what needs to be done by then and then, knowing if someone did his work or not by then and then and not if it's good enough in the perspective of the project.
In my mind, this is a producer...
TL;DR? You need a producer! And I want and can do that!
