The Motivation of Small Wins
The final celebration is the big milestone. But it's a long horizon. Acknowledge intermediate achievements. Hired the photographer. Every completion is worth acknowledging. Acknowledge the achievement. A bottle of champagne. These small wins prevent the "will this ever end" feeling. You're not just enduring the planning and small wins matter.
