Every Milestone Starts As An Idea

Milestones look like results. They start as ideas that survived long enough to get built.

The distance between the two is mostly persistence and a few good systems.

"An idea becomes a milestone the day it gets a deadline."

Write Ideas Down

Unwritten ideas disappear under the urgent work of the week.

Keep a running list and revisit it monthly instead of trusting memory.

Give One a Date

Pick the idea with the highest impact and put it on the calendar with an owner.

That is the only difference between a wish and a project.

The Takeaway

Pull one idea off your list today and give it a date.
