ApplyIt Event Planning

A practical application ... use the concepts in the Event pattern to make sure you have thought of everything you need for a simple or big event.

Works as a great companion to the classic:
Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How

Events Ideas:
  • Birthday Party
  • Date / Anniversary
  • Small project in the yard, garage, at work
  • A meeting
  • Going to the park with your kids
  • Taking a trip (work or pleasure)
For example, when helping someone out with a half-day project at their house (like putting up boards in Florida before a hurricane) use the Event pattern as a visual checklist:

>INF
Au> How strong might the winds be?
Va> Safety!
Ha> When safe, its a good thing

>ENT
Pe> You and your friend
To> You name it! Screws, Drill, Sawhorses, Sharpie, StraightEdge, etc.
Ob> Boards

>ACN
Ch> Did we start early enough? What can we skip?
Ac> Plan of what to do, and when
St> From unprotected to secure and safe
