Using Time Boxing to Meet Project Deadlines

You want to plan regular check-ins with the supervisor, the client or your team. You also want to identify only the tasks that need to be done in the next week. Time boxing is an approach where you determine the beginning and the end of your task. There is no such thing as perfection. Only our higher power is perfect. We are not. So we need to stop believing that that's going to be possible. To get from 0 to 80% perfect, which I call excellence, takes as much time as getting from that 80% to 100%. It never is.
