If you are creating a personal project , use a skill for a project to make sure you are comfortable with and have experience on and practice on the daily.
Author note's : ( This is for IB students. I realized that in order to make a successful personal project you should really have experience or have already background information on what you are making. Since the research part is very lengthy especially for a sophisticated piece. ) Example ; if you are experienced in narrative writing then stick to it and add a challenge ( Check chapter 2 to challenge your writing style) Don't overcompensate by trying a new genre that you haven't practiced or mastred.
If you are challenging yourself for something new, prepare way beforehand like in summer break or before finalizing your project idea to the teachers.
Author note's : Contrary to the first tip this is good example of how I failed to pre-writing. I have read several fantasy books , read review and analysis. However , I never really practiced by writing and by coming up with my own version of what I read. So , if you have a clear idea of your plot and have set your concept images then practice describing them as well as creating a basic plot map.

This diagram is recommended by cousin which helped me tremendously to navigate and prioritize my tasks in my personal life and school life. As you can see there are four coordinate plates and each serves a different purpose. Depending on schedule each coordinate plane can have a specific time range ;
- Important / urgent ; is a for tasks for today or very urgent deadlines that should be met by a set time ( EX; today or tomorrow )
- Important / non-urgent ; are for deadlines that are important but can be done later. This can be for personal reminders or for next week deadlines or things that should be done before next week ( EX ; bring groceries , Study for math test on Thursday )
- Non-important / urgent ; This is preserved for daily habits and to manage social life and also far deadlines or learning goals. ( EX; pick my cousin after rehearsal , workout for 30 min , review prime numbers topic , creative writing practice )
