Embrace Unique Contribution for Meaningful Progress

Prioritizing projects effectively requires a balance between personal interest, external demand, and a sense of unique contribution. Initially, one may focus solely on others' needs, but over time, recognizing the importance of individual excitement and the distinctiveness of one's role becomes crucial. A project should not only excite the individual but also matter to others, ensuring the effort feels relevant and impactful.

Finding this unique angle fosters ownership and meaningful progress in project execution.
