a realization about projects

The past week has been in a labor of sorts, seeking out alternatives to a reality so that our intention of completing a B.Tech project within schedule may be realized.Its been a queer effort especially since having a partner who is a chronic nocturnal with myself an early-bed-early-riser, we have found little time between two sun-risings to collaborate and work together. It would be iniquitous of me to lay charge on this single source of incongruence between our personalities and habits to be the retarding force in our project efforts, and hence would love to point to the many others. However, I'm pretty sure no matter what -the reasonings are always going to pale out in the end, as its finally the answer to this simple question:
"To do or not to do?" -- that shall see us through till the end.

Well the interesting mix of an incessant desire to do something and the physical lethargy of doing anything, has made me resort to a very convenient form of action:
Lying in bed under the comfort of a cotton bedsheet, wondering what exactly I ought to do with my final days of the semester.(Meets my physical needs of inaction, and satisfies the mental urge towards action ;) )

And, in this state in activity,was I directed by destiny towards this profound thought:

Our intentions are generally to complete a Project by a stipulated time(say a semester). And not a day goes without us wondering about the Project. However, its magnitude,its sheer scale and its complexity are general factors that push us down, and incapacitate us at the start.And with the fear of beginning, of putting our feet forward - we procrastinate. So here are a few commandments :

"The only way to complete any project is to resort to time-tested-means :

~~ Lay it down - brick-by-brick.~~

+ Divide the (Macro perspective) into a multitude of (micro-perspective).
+ Let each day be not for the "Completion/Work on the PROJECT" but let it be a day to "Complete a TASK or a series of TASKS".
+ The smaller the , the surer we are of our capacity to complete it. The belief that we can do it, and the record of having completed our small but significant commitments keeps us on our feet.
+ We may as well record our growth, by not only the completed to date, but also our efficiency in completing more tasks per 24 hours , than we had assumed.
+ Our shall an the phenomena of our Intelligent Design(Id) and Consistent Effort(CE).
Its a proven fact that with the little intelligence we have we may actually achieve wonders, because Genius isn't the thing that moves the world -- Consistency,Perseverance and Hard-work are the quintessential gears, with Genius being the lubricant ;) "

Wishing you all the very best in your endeavours.

Remember :

The key to perfection is 10,000 hours.It just depends on how well you distribute that quota across your years.
