My PMP journey seemed so long & daunting, but in hindsight, it need not be. It could have been more enjoyable - if only I changed my 'lens' and viewed this journey differently. Not wanting other future PMs to make the same mistakes, here's me sharing an important tip - to view you PMP journey positively right from the start. It's an intriguing & exciting journey of making full use of the available knowledge portals & study materials and finding a balance & strengths in the array of materials. I see these materials now as 'friends'. I hope you'll benefit & enjoy these tips as much as I did compiling them.
