Mindset
Define one step for each day, so tiny, that you know you will carry it out. Break the project down into daily bites of work. Then take action every day.
Know in every moment what needs to be done to move you toward our goal.
Always ask this before you do a task: Does doing this get me closer to creating what I want to create?
Only plan items you can execute! Make your plans achievable. Less might be better. When you make plans you cannot achieve your motivation will be killed!

The Week In Retrospect
Look at the previous week, before planning the next week. Do this every Monday morning.
What has worked? What did not work? Do you need to adjust The Machine? Be honest, find the truth. Plan the next week.
- Identify problems that stand in the way of you achieving the outcome this week
- Diagnose problems to get at their causes
- Design plans that will get you around your problems and toward the defined outcome
- Push through to completion. Do what is necessary.
- Define the outcome for next week that will bring you closer to your goal.
15th of April 2018 Recap Of Week Seven
Oh well, this past week has been somewhat chaotic. I made plans but could not stick to them. Improving the delegation view of SteemDesk has consumed more time than I anticipated. Therefore, most of my planned tasks moved into the backlog.
One thing I learned this week is that is more important to ship a minimal feature than to work on one prominent feature for weeks. A feature adds only value when the SteemDesk users can see it.
So what I will try to do in the future is to make tiny updates and push more often to the production version of SteemDesk. We will see how that goes :)
