Define one step for each day, so tiny, that you know you will carry it out. Break the project down into daily bites of work. Then take action every day.
Know in every moment what needs to be done to move you toward your goal.
Always ask this before you do a task: Does doing this get me closer to creating what I want to create?
Only plan items you can execute! Make your plans achievable. Less might be better. When you make plans you cannot achieve your motivation will be killed!

Remember, Sunday is special. If there are still open issues, you should finish them, or refine The Machine.
[x] Clean backlog and open tasks from this week
[x] Plan for next week
Look at the previous week, before planning the next week. Do this every Monday morning.
What has worked? What did not work? Do you need to adjust The Machine? Be honest, find the truth. Plan the next week.
This has been a productive week. The app development made good progress. Making the tasks tiny seems to be working great. Therefore I will stick to it for the coming week.
It feels like I could have spent more time working on the app. Mostly I only worked 60 minutes each day. I should aim for at least 90 minutes daily for next week. Probably it is a good idea to track the time I spend on the project.
