Episode notes
Keep Every Project Detail In One Place
- Keep all project details in one place to avoid feeling scattered and losing ideas.
- Kendra recommends a single Projects Playbook or a dedicated notes app, and to note where digital assets (Pinterest, spreadsheets) live.
Know What Your Project Will Displace
- Know what your project will displace in your finite schedule and accept that tradeoff ahead of time.
- Kendra gives examples: race training displaces leisure and sleep; room projects displace ordinary meals or routines.
Make Project Days Intentionally Easier
- Make project days easier instead of forcing normal routines onto them.
- Suggestions include ordering pizza, skipping bed/bath routines, or postponing chores to reduce friction and keep momentum.
