summary
Claims three concrete causes for stalled projects with a surprising number attached: 45% imposter syndrome plus procrastination and a delegation phobia. Recommends chopping big work into bite sized tasks, assigning pieces by skill so designers do design and backend does backend, and prioritizing by effort vs impact to push easy high impact items first. Uses intermediate deadlines, incremental wins and repeated try fail retry cycles as the practical workflow to actually finish things.
