How to overcome distance

When doing a project with someone else from somewhere else it causes a lot of problems as is because you have to combine your thoughts and your ideas into one combined thought. Sometimes this makes the project scattered because your thoughts are not always the same. A way to overcome this is setting up and exact outline that will allow both of your ideas to be able to be shown in the same amount of light. That is just a problem as it is so having distance on top of that. The distance can cause the communication hard to get across. On top of that with the differences in ideas and then the lack of communication. This can make your ideas come across differently and in very small quantities. One way to help overcome this is by using as much detail as possible. Keep the people in your group totally informed on what you think can make it easier to decide on exactly what they believe is valid and want to use and as a group make the project with the best information possible. Another problem is that distance can also cause time schedule differences. When one person is in class the other might not be and working on the project will have to be based on available time. This means that you can base your entire days work off of someones email that they might have sent you hours before. Also you may try to ask them a question and they might not answer or respond for hours when you are done working on the project. A way to help soften the hardness of this, you keep your communication ways completely available at all times. Keep checking your email and Facebook to see if your group has tried to contact you. Also you should try to respond in a fast and speedy manner and stay polite. Politeness can also cause many people to want to work on a project because they want to do good.
