About
The OP Planning mind map template is a structured project timeline for students or professionals managing multiple operational projects (OPs) over a five-month period from December to April. It covers 37 nodes organized into monthly branches, each detailing specific submission deadlines, peer and professional review milestones, and recurring tasks. Key nodes include 'Submit LIPD for Peer Review', 'OP2 creation -- Teaching a PDC at Sadhana Forest Kenya', and 'End of Year Presentation'. This template serves as a cheat sheet for tracking OP creation, advising sessions, and media contributions like 'Gaia Radio: AGC and Content'. It provides a clear monthly roadmap for completing sequential OPs (OP2 through OP5) alongside continuous learning activities.
