How to Get a Stalled Project Moving Again

• If the thought of resuming your project fills you with dread, it might be time to say "goodbye" to it for good.

1. Devote a Chunk of Time. Devote a whole weekend to writing the next chapter or two of your novel. Spend a day updating a long-neglected website. Schedule a whole afternoon to work on your craft project. You might even go on a weekend or week-long course.
2. Give Yourself a Deadline. Why did your project stall in the first place? Because you weren't working on it consistently. The best way to keep up your momentum on a long-term project is to have a firm deadline in mind. Write your deadline on your calendar.
3. Set a Regular Schedule – and Stick to It. Once you've got a deadline, you can work back from that to figure out your weekly schedule. With a work project, you might have specific milestones to hit along the way. 
4. Make a Public Commitment. The accountability helps you stay motivated. There are plenty of ways you could do this, including:

• Taking a course which involves producing regular work
• Updating your Twitter followers each day with your progress
• Asking a friend or relative to keep you accountable
