Chapter 1: Understanding Project Completion

Achieving your dreams shouldn’t be hampered by procrastination or ineffective planning.

When it comes to setting goals and finishing projects, it’s essential to recognize that this process comprises several stages and can span weeks, months, or even years. Due to this lengthy timeline, many individuals struggle to stay on track and ultimately fail to achieve their aspirations. However, you can transform this trend into a path of successful project completion.

How can you achieve this? Start by clearly defining your goal. Ask yourself why this goal is important to you. Next, break it down into manageable steps: create a list or multiple lists that will guide you toward your objective. Assign timelines to each segment or phase of your goal.

With a clearer understanding of what is required to complete your project, it’s time to plan. Set aside dedicated time in your daily schedule, even if it’s just 10–30 minutes, to steadily progress on your project. Consider finding an accountability partner to check in with as you navigate through your tasks.

To bridge the gap between dreaming and doing, ensure that your planning includes regular assessments of your progress. For smaller projects (lasting 4–6 weeks), implement weekly check-ins. For larger endeavors, establish a weekly review for each phase and a monthly evaluation to gauge overall progress.

You might wonder why these assessments are necessary if you're consistently working on your project. The truth is that many, particularly women, tend to overlook their achievements, often thinking, "I'm just doing what I do." I used to fall into this mindset myself. Even when I excelled at tasks like organizing and planning, I wouldn't recognize them as accomplishments worth celebrating.

However, just because you excel in certain areas doesn’t mean those efforts shouldn’t be acknowledged! Regular check-ins can help you:

• Recognize your skills and hard work
• Build confidence in your progress to maintain motivation
• Hold yourself and your accountability partner responsible—when it’s time to report back, you’ll want to share positive developments.

Life can sometimes interfere, or procrastination may take hold, causing you to stray from your path. Don’t let this derail your efforts. Instead, remind yourself of your motivation for completing the project and identify any obstacles in your way.

Ask yourself:

• Am I avoiding my project out of fear?
• Is my interest in this project still strong, or should I pivot entirely?
• What steps do I need to take to get back on track if I choose to continue?

Equipped with your plan, accountability, and scheduled check-ins, you are ready to tackle any project you aim to accomplish.
