Then, Sarah discusses 11 steps for breaking up big projects. In brief, these include:

1- Envision the End

2- Think about Timeline.

3- Think about Team (and learning from others who have been there)

4- Start mapping out the steps. Not necessarily EVERY step. But, always good to know:

First step

Next step

Any time-sensitive step

5- Decide what time frame makes sense to ‘hold’ your project

6- Figure out where you will keep everything related to the project

7- Assign yourself the first step with a specific time frame. (Take the plunge!)

8- Set a calendar date with yourself to review progress / define next steps / make edits

9- Have an off ramp or the ability to table it if you can!

10- CELEBRATE completions - of each step, of the project as a whole! Thank those involved and share your victories.

11- Postmortem - think about what worked, what didn’t, and where to store notes/etc for next time!
