Step 3: Perform The Tasks
In this step, we are performing the work based on the tasks we have identified in Step 1 and the schedule in Step 2.
Initially you may need to get use to Sprinting. After awile, it will come naturally. You will find that you are pushing yourself to finish the tasks rather that taking your time.
If you cannot finish, don't worry, add another time box to finish it.
Then adjust your schedule accordingly. Your estimation will improve with practice.
You worked within the timed boxes, so you finish faster, take a break or continue with next task
The tasks you schedule are as follows, I have added 1 additional sprint as an example.
Each Sprint is 20 minutes and you FOCUS and DO AS MUCH AS FAST as you can.
Sprint 1: Research the concept and keyword
5 Minute Break (Take a break, don't think about the work, do something to relax)
Sprint 2: Identify the main points of the article and write breakdown the sections
5 Minute Break
Sprint 3: Find images and resources (references, quotes etc...)
Sprint 4; Write article
5 Minute Break
Sprint 5: Write article
>>>>>> Add another Sprint for Write Article (If you cannot finish your article)
Sptint 6: Format article
5 Minute Break
Sprint 7: Edit article
5 Minute Break
Sprint 8: Review article
Sprint 9: Publish article
Total: 205 minutes or 3 hours 42 minutes. + additional 20 minutes additional sprint
Thanks for a great article. When I worked for a software development company, when used Sprints and Agile for our development. It never even occurred to me to use it in my personal and professional life. It was always something to only be used in software development.
Thanks for opening my eyes.
