Module 10: Projects and big goals
Breaking big projects into milestones
Key points
- A milestone is a checkpoint that marks a meaningful part of a project done.
- Work backwards from the deadline to set milestone dates.
- Break each milestone into small tasks you can finish in one sitting.
Gantt charts for personal projects
Key points
- A Gantt chart shows tasks as bars along a timeline.
- It shows which tasks overlap and which depend on others.
- Free tools and spreadsheets can make simple Gantt charts.
OKRs for personal goals
Key points
- OKRs pair an Objective (what you want) with Key Results (how you measure it).
- Key results should be specific and measurable.
- Review OKRs every quarter and adjust them.
Tracking progress with a habit tracker
Key points
- A habit tracker marks each day you complete a habit.
- Seeing the record helps you notice patterns and missed days.
- Track a few habits at a time so the tracker stays simple.
