Important Actions March 10, 2010
Every project consists of a sequence of actions in pursuit of a particular goal.
While the goal is the entire purpose for the project, progress is only made by completing the actions.
A primary challenge with respect to the actions is that the most important actions are not always the most pleasant.
Some actions are more influential than others; minimal advancement and magnificent completion are frequently only differentiated by slight alterations in actions performed.
Important actions are ones that propel the project toward the final goal. They are the only ones that matter.
The challenge, of course, is to avoid being distracted by intriguing possibilities long enough to complete significant tasks.
