 Thanks to the freeware version of [[http://www.xmind.net/|XMind]], I obtained compact and readable mindmaps out of my quickly-handwritten-and-unsticky-anymore-post-its. Thanks to the freeware version of [[http://www.xmind.net/|XMind]], I obtained compact and readable mindmaps out of my quickly-handwritten-and-unsticky-anymore-post-its.
 +
 +I kept almost exactly the same organization than on my wall, and obtained, for instance, the two following maps:
 +  * {{:michka:practices_december.pdf|Practices}}
 +  * {{:michka:metabolhomics.pdf|Metabolhomics}}
 +
 +The content may look a bit cryptic to you, but I promise I can understand myself better than with the post-its :)
 +
 +In addition to these mindmaps which define project strategy from high- to low- level content, I created a workbook for more practical sutff. Logically, I called it "Practical FoAM2013".
 +
 +===Practical FoAM2013 Tables===
 +
 +This [[http://www.openoffice.org/|Open Office]] workbook contains eight tabs.
 +
 +  - A **General Objectives List**, where I write down things [[http://transiency-diary.tumblr.com/post/73421005974/reading-list-priorizing|I would be sad not to have achieved at the end of the year.]]
 +  - A **Short-Term To-Do List**, where I write down short-term tasks I want to achieve in the following days.
 +  - A **Reading/Watching/Listening List** where is stored all the references collected in my paper and numerical notebooks.
 +  - An **Exploration List**, complementary to the previous one, where I write down names and keywords about topics I found interesting, and I would like to dig into a little bit more.
 +  - A **Connected Projects List**, where I list projects I feel are connected to Metabolhomics and the general spirit of this Transiency.
 +  - A **People I Should Connect With List**, where I list... people I should connect with.
 +  - A **Diffusion List**, where I start to list contacts of people interested with my work, and to whom I should send some kind of newsletter.
 +  - A **Questions List**, where I list the topic I would like to adress during my regular meetings with FoAM's Core Team members.
 +
 +This workbook articulates day-to-day Project Management elements like the Short-Term To-Do List with more global Project Definition elements, like the General Objectives list.
 +
 +====Scheduling====
 +
 +The next task is to produce a schedule of activities, showing how they will articulate until the end of the year.
 +
 +Right now, the schedule is pretty rough, as it only cuts the whole Transiency in two main phases.
 +  - The ***Definition phase (November-March)***, during which gathering and processing of informations are the main tasks. I will be involved with research, reading, mapping and design tasks to prepare the second phase, which will be...
 +  - The ***Implementation phase (April-November)***, during which I will prototype a system of objects out of the Metabolhomics Map.
 +
 +A more detailed schedule is currently under construction.
