How I stuck to my plan
Over the course of my EPQ project, I built upon my plan as I wasn't sure exactly what I would use. I underestimated how fast the time would go leading up to the EPQ and didn't manage to stick to some deadlines, pushing them up and therefore having to put in lots of work in the few months leading up to my presentation.
