Feeling overwhelmed by your project? You're not alone. Many of us lose steam halfway through because projects aren't always as exciting as when we first started them. Here's how to reignite your focus and conquer deadlines.

  1. Break projects into smaller parts:  Breaking projects into smaller components can significantly reduce anxiety and improve drastically on productivity  
  2. Set clear goals for each stage: Use the SMART method, which is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and time-bound at every stage of the project

  3. Time management: There are several time management techniques you can employ including the time blocking technique and the Pomodoro (work in focused bursts with short breaks) technique to be a master of your time.

  4. Eliminate distractions: Distraction is a stealer of time it impacts a lot on our productivity. Make sure to use different possible means to minimize or eliminate every form of distraction, including turning off notifications and using website blockers.

  5. Reward system: Celebrate milestones to stay motivated and learn to properly reward yourself for every win achieved by prioritizing play and rest. 

The list is not exhausted however, by implementing these strategies, you'll not only meet deadlines but also enhance your overall project management skills.
