One action a day

Published: Monday, 04 March 2013

Just taking one action a day, moves your project forward.  Keep living your life.  Keep going to work.  Keep studying.  Keep seeing your friends.  Keep cooking your dinners.  Keep your hobbies.  Keep going to conferences.  Keep travelling.

But along the way, always take at least one action a day to move your project forward.  And if you've planned it well.  These one actions, compounded, could lead your project into directions you never imagined possible before.
