What is your strategy to complete?

Think deep before you even start - e.g. resources availability check, cost & benefit analysis, impact analysis etc.

Focus on the goal & its key deliverable - sometimes to an extent to lock down the goal & KPI within certain time frame.

Spend more time to plan your resources carefully before executing your plans.

Instill self-discipline but be open minded & flexible.

Fuel yourself with passion & perseverance especially when roadblocks everywhere, pause or take a break as needed but don't quit.
