How to Prepare for the NEXT Challenge
How to Leverage a Finish to Move on to the Next Challenge:
1. Take a break -- When you finish a sub-step or major hurdle in a big
project you're trying to finish, take a rest to get away and get a
fresh perspective. We don't want any burn-outs on our hands.
2. Restart -- Before you head off for that break, however, be sure you
know what will "restart" your next step of the project. What will trigger your own project's next step?
3.** Set an alarm to be a "squeaky wheel" -- You know the saying: "The
squeaky wheel gets the grease." Figure out a way to alert yourself if
too much time passes while you're waiting for the trigger to happen. Take responsibility. If you don't, maybe no one else will.
