How to tie up all loose ends on that project youre working on
How to tie up all loose ends on that project you're working on How to tie up all loose ends on that project you're working on Sometimes, itâs just as difficult to start a project as it is to finish it. But itâs not impossible - hereâs how to tie up all the loose ends.Get some help if you need toYou might just learn something new and bolster your confidence in the process.Kevin Daum, an author and entrepreneur, writes in Inc. that you should âcall in the troopsâ when trying to bring a major project to a close quickly.âSometimes you just canât do it alone. There is little glory in a solo failure, so swallow that pride and ask for some help. Sure you might have to return the favor someday, but thatâs what friends and colleagues are for. It also helps to bring in someone who hasnât been staring at the project for weeks. They may have ideas on how to complete the project better and faster,â he writes.Break things downThereâs no need to try and focus on everything at once - make things easier on yourself instead.Alice E. M. Underwood, a Grammarly content writer and editorial and resea rch aide at Stanford, writes on the site about how to complete a work assignment when another, more crucial one later crops up and starts competing for your attention.âBlock off a chunk of time on your calendar to dedicate to the problem project. Donât let anyone or anything else take that time away. During that time, ask yourself: whatâs the core of the problem youâre trying to solve, and what steps can you take to get to a solution? Write down those steps to break down your project into manageable components,â she writes. âAddress the components one at a time, but as you work, keep the overall problem in mind. The separate steps will both organize your work process and ensure an organized final product that directly and accurately addresses the problem at hand.âDonât be a perfectionistThis often makes things more difficult.Elizabeth Grace Saunders, an author and founder of Real Life E Time Coaching Training, writes on the 99U site about what to do when this gets i n your way.âThe mental battle: When youâre convinced that âsettlingâ for anything less than a perfect-quality product is unacceptable, you tend to unconsciously lower your standards in many other areas. This could include missing deadlines, falling behind on other responsibilities and feeling stressed all the time,â she writes. âWhat to do: Evaluate your overall performance. To clarify the cost of trying to do everything âideally,â make a list of what else could suffer (sleep, relationships, emotional state?). Then, when you feel tempted to push closure off in the relentless pursuit of perfection, look at this list for a reminder to stop.â
