Here’s your guide for wrapping Big Summer Projects. Summers are fantastic times to tackle something big and new.

Do you remember our pledge to make Summer 2024 an opportunity to tackle something big and new? Come September, when colleagues and friends ask what you did this summer, what will you say?

You may be working on your first business book or launching a podcast. Are you leading a product team and prepping for the market launch of a new product?

Think about how you live, how you create, and how you work. Craft a Big Summer Project to wow your friends and boost your self-esteem. After all, when will you feel good about yourself if you do not feel powerful during a summer break?

Identify the Project

Summer 2024 is wrapping, and you’re finishing your Big Summer Project. The categories are Work, Life, and Creativity. What did you choose? Are you launching a new product at work or a new business for yourself? Are you writing a book or recording new music? Is health and fitness your Big Summer Project? Are you looking to set a new deadlift goal? I’m finishing a book proposal and manuscript. What’s your Big Summer Project (BSP)?

How are you identifying your project? What category is best for you? What will deliver the most significant emotional boost? Follow your enthusiasm for the project and burning desire to tackle and complete it this summer. If you follow your passion, your chance of finishing your Big Summer Project will be sky-high.

Discover the Best Time

You know your Big Summer Project, and you’re excited to finish and share it with colleagues. Step two is discovering the best time to work on our Big Summer Project. Being consistent with your schedule is critical. Our lives are busy. When will you work on your Big Summer Project? Early Mornings? Midday Breaks? Evenings? Weekends? Choose a schedule that’s attainable and realistic. Your passion will plummet if you’re not making progress. A consistent project schedule increases the likelihood of completing your Big Summer Project on schedule.

Share your plans! When will you work on your Big Summer Project?

Discover the Best Workspace

Our Summer 2024 Pledge is to wrap up and share a Big Summer Project by or before autumn. Our project continues to excite us, and we’re making progress thanks to a doable project schedule.

Where’s the best space to work on your project? Do you have a productive spot at home? Is there a flex area at your workspace? Maybe you belong to a co-working office? Finding the right place to work on your Big Summer Project is essential. Distinguishing project time from work demands and personal needs is crucial to project success. Establishing a dedicated project space will prevent personal needs and work deadlines from spilling onto your big summer project. Your dream spot may be a mountain cabin or house on a beach. Until a mountain retreat is within budget, carve out project space at your current location. Find your creative space and compose, draw, strategize, and write.

Measure Project Success

Summer 2024 is underway, and you’re busy working on your Big Summer Project. How will you measure its success?

Is revenue a priority? Do you want to establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry? Do you want to boost your creativity? Maybe your project is about health, and you’ll measure success by weight loss. It’s simply about getting it done. Matching a fair key performance indicator (KPI) with your summer project will increase the likelihood of you finishing the project and feeling good about completing the project. There are many ways to measure the success of a Big Summer Project. Share what success means to you.

One Final Big Summer Project Tip. Gather Feedback.

You know your summer project. Your workspace and work schedule are working. Progress is underway because the project’s critical goals are clear. All that’s needed is a final chunk of time to push the project to completion. Now that you’re in the wrap phase of your big summer project, I have one last tip to share. Gather feedback and schedule meetings to share your big summer project with colleagues, friends, and mentors. Feedback is gold; gathering feedback is essential for your big summer project. Listen and learn from the feedback. Use the feedback to refresh your project before implementation.

Are you ready to share your Big Summer Project? It’s the best way for creators to wrap up summer.
