If you could regularly complete your most meaningful projects, what would that be worth to you?
For many people, they’d be creating the impact they want, and would be going much further in fulfilling their purpose in life. It would go a long way toward creating the life that you want.
But of course, there are some tough challenges that stand in the way of that:
- Self-doubt and fear of failure
- Distraction, avoidance, procrastination
- Focusing on smaller, less important (but easier) tasks
- Not making time for focusing on the project
- Feeling overwhelmed and not taking action
- Losing focus and getting discouraged
- Feeling a lack of progress and a feeling of pointlessness
These kinds of challenges get in the way for all of us. In this post, I’ll share crucial strategies for dealing with these challenges to get support to finally complete your most meaningful project.
Get Clear on Purpose
The mistake many people make at the start is not having any clear direction. What would you like to accomplish this year? If you set a direction for yourself, you’ll have a clear sense of purpose.
If you don’t know what project you’d like to take on this year, spend a few days contemplating it. Then just choose something. Anything. It’s better to choose something from your gut than it is to get caught up in indecision and choose nothing.
Create a Weekly Ritual
You can get really good at completing projects if you build a few key habits. The first one is a weekly planning ritual:
- Review how your last week went (did you hit your targets?)
- Make a note of what you learned & what adjustments are needed
- Make commitments for this coming week
- Block off time to focus on the project & hit your commitments
This should take about 20 minutes each week. I recommend Sundays or Mondays.
If you do this ritual every week, you will move this project forward.
