Another Idea for Persevering Through a Long Project
I learned another idea today for dealing with an enormous project. I got this one from Joe Robson, a top copywriter and developer of The Newbie Club, which provides free resources and tutorials for improving your skills on computer, internet, and ecommerce.
Joe is also in the middle of a big project right now. He's creating a whole new set of tutorials, has already put in more than 70 hours, and sees no end in sight.
So this is how he stays on task: he writes on a big piece of paper what he feels will be better in his life once he gets the project done. Then he posts that paper right next to his monitor.
Every time he's tempted to take a break or set the project aside, he sees that reminder of the benefits he'll receive from completing the project. He says it heads off discouragement and keeps him much more focused.
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you!
