1. Editing Workflow.
"An efficient editor is an organised editor"
Before you start editing, write up a workflow of each stage of editing i.e. logging, assembly. Remember, the smaller, and the more stages, the easier it will be. The more projects you work on, the more comprehensive this workflow will become. Once you have come up with a workflow, use it to help you schedule your editing in your diary
2.Break it up.
If you feel overwhelmed, break your tasks down into manageable chunks.
3.Index cards.
Index cards can be an effective way of coming up with a plan of how you are going to order your footage and what you should cut out.
4."Prepare for the worst hope for the best"
Brainstorm the worst things that could happen while shooting and editing and work out how you will tackle these problems. By tackling the problems beforehand you are less likely to face them later.
5. Prioritise/ keep it simple
If you have a lot of footage learning to prioritise and keep things simple is essential.
