Whiteboard planningIt's a new month and pretty soon a brand new week. Both are excellent excuses to get your ducks in a row and your chickens hatching.

I continue to be amazed at how much of web development isn't all that technical. There are plenty of social and organizational roadblocks that keep us from achieving all our goals.

Not all of these seven steps for successful projects can save a project that already has problems. But check out this list below and ask yourself what you can work on today to get yourself out of a rut.

  1. Organize your thoughts - Let it all out and then make sense of it
  2. Define clear objectives - Don't know what you're trying to do? Better find out now, or you'll just be treading water.
  3. Establish clear, material deliverables for each step - Breaking down into sub-tasks can be a life saver. What could you finish today?
