Can you share a little more about how you plan your time and projects now (or don't)?

Planning and revisiting a project plan regularly to weak it that has work laid out in small enough steps is really important. It helps create good stopping points, and easy starting points.

I'm not sure if you use a simple kanban like Trello but it's important. In the beginning using a smartphone to curate the list constantly helps you build a habit of knowing what's currently on stage, up next, etc.

If the goals are too big or too vague it's hard to conceptualize them. A good rule of thumb is to try to get major tasks down to 4-8 hours each, and let them be a larger part of the really big solution you're after.

There's other legitimate issues too like dealing with interruptions, or emergency issues.
