The Three Whys-
Just a short one this time-things are crazy right now and I have a lot to get done.
The book Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath has a huge amount of great ideas to help you understand how your project works. One of the tactics mentioned in it is “The Three Whys”
You can use it like this:
Why is your project ‘X’?
Why?
Why?
This will help you understand what makes or breaks what you’re trying to do. If you can’t find an answer to the whys, you need to dig deeper into what your project is and where you want it to go.
It’s a great system, I don’t have to add much more than that…
I’m hard at work, so the next time you hear from me (hopefully), I have a whole new revision for you…

Write an overwhelming love letter for the project - a statement "why this is the best book/screenplay/ (or song) that has ever been written.
Because during the work of progress we often loose these "why's". And then when you are stuck - you can open this letter and read it and will find lot's of precious answers + encouragement !
