It's bound to have happened to you at some point. After sticking with something for long enough, you unexpectedly hit a major milestone that leaves you with a deep sense of satisfaction and pride. One technique that really stands out toward arriving at moments like this is generating momentum, and you can harness it to keep yourself consistent for long enough to make hitting that next milestone a matter of when and not if.
Awesome example Mitchell! I think the concept of modularity and effort tracking go hand in hand for sure. The big deliverable of "going live" at the end was the result people will think to measure you by, but the interim efforts and milestones along the way is how you actually get there. Tracking effort via milestone is a fantastic way of keeping momentum up and feeling good about progress, especially if the end result is a long ways off. Thanks for sharing. I always find the lived experiences you share here really insightful!
