How to Tackle Big, Overwhelming Projects

The challenge for most people is actually sticking to that time and using it to get the intended project work done.

Do you crave time to do your deep thinking work during the work day, and not on nights and weekends? Too often workdays are filled with demands for back to back meetings, dozens of emails, IM’s and slack messages–that our days feel out of our control.
