Do you desperately need some quick motivation to get started on a project or bust through a stuck spot? Try a sprint.

A sprint is a short, intense burst of focused work with a clearly defined start and end time. During a sprint, you give your FULL attention to a specific task, pushing yourself to make as much progress as possible without overthinking or getting stuck on perfection.

Sprints are similar to practicing focused time, but there you’re building up a skill set over time. Sprints are for fast and furious accomplishments when you need to break through procrastination and build momentum quickly.

Sprints can be used for anything, from drafting a messy outline for a paper, to sketching paragraph ideas, to gathering all the resources you need for a project. You can even try them for chores. 

Take control of your time and efficiency this term:
