BLP Ep #140: How to Think About Big Projects

---

Show Notes:

Today’s episode opens up with a great Planner Peace submission from Millicent!

Products mentioned:

– Simplified Daily Planner

– Day Designer Monthly (I think this is what she is referring to!)

– Essential Calendar (this link and use code BESTLAIDPLANS at checkout for 10% off!)

11 steps for breaking up big projects. In brief, these include:

1- Envision the End

2- Think about Timeline.

3- Think about Team (and learning from others who have been there)

4- Start mapping out the steps. Not necessarily EVERY step. But, always good to know first step / next step / any time-sensitive step or bottleneck

5- Decide what time frame makes sense to ‘hold’ your project

6- Figure out where you will keep everything related to the project

7- Assign yourself the first step with a specific time frame. (Take the plunge!)

8- Set a calendar date with yourself to review progress / define next steps / make edits

9- Have an off ramp or the ability to table it if you can!

10- CELEBRATE completions – of each step, of the project as a whole! Thank those involved and share your victories.

11- Postmortem – think about what worked, what didn’t, and where to store notes/etc for next time!
