work backwards
to complete a big project, to stay on track to use the available time effectively and not waste it with spurious activity work backwards. set the date of submission or completion clearly. say its next monday, then count backwards how many days that is, and work to finish it in those next 7 days. but to not loose steam, set a deadline that by 9am tomorrow you will finish the task. then work intensely today to achieve it. if you will not do this iteratively, it will not happen.
