The Magic of One-Day Projects

Hope you took time out to celebrate the one true Thanksgiving yesterday.

The best projects are the ones that last a single day—or even less.

When a project starts and finishes in one day, there’s no time for it to spiral out of control, get bogged down in endless reviews, or conflict with other tasks. You stay focused, you make progress, and you finish.

Aim for one-day projects. If you’re not sure how to do that, come back tomorrow.
