I coordinated remote teams for several big college projects by using a simple STAR approach: set clear goals and roles up front, run short weekly stand‑ups with shared task boards, and use async updates to bridge schedules so progress never stalled, even near deadlines . Tools like Trello/Planner for Kanban, Docs for real‑time collaboration, and Teams/Meet for video check‑ins helped track ownership and unblock issues quickly; this reduced last‑minute conflicts and kept milestones on time

First tackle items that are both urgent and important, schedule important but not urgent work, delegate urgent but less important tasks, and drop low-impact activities to protect focus time . Each morning starts with a time-blocked plan and a short list of high-impact goals, with buffer time to handle changes; priorities are re-ordered as new information arrives, and stakeholders are updated to align deadlines and expectations
