BASB - 10 minute clarity exercise for projects
BASB 101: The 10-Minute Clarity Exercise to Align Your Projects & Goals for Q4
The last quarter of 2023 just started. Three more months to bring into reality what you set out to accomplish this year.
This is the perfect time to pause and take a look at your projects.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I advocate for keeping an up-to-date project list that captures everything you’re actively working on right now.
What qualifies as a project? Anything with a concrete outcome that you want/need to get done by a certain date and that can’t be completed in one work session (otherwise it would just be a to-do).
Take 10 minutes today to follow these steps:
- Step #1: Grab a piece of paper or create a new note in your notetaking app and write down your active projects.
- Step #2: Then, write down your goals for this year. What did you set out to accomplish in 2023?
- Step #3: Compare the two lists. Which goal doesn’t have an active project? Can you start a project now to make progress on your goal?
Btw, if you notice that you won’t get something done, that’s ok. Acknowledge it honestly and let it go instead of beating yourself up about it.
The simple act of writing your projects down will give you instant clarity and a roadmap for the remainder of the year.
