# Project Management

## Overview
As a solopreneur, you are the project manager by default. Without structure, tasks pile up, deadlines get missed, and progress stalls. This playbook gives you lightweight project management systems that keep you organized and moving forward — without the overhead of enterprise PM tools and processes.

## Step 1: Choose Your Task Management System

You need one source of truth for all work. Pick a system that fits your workflow.

**System comparison:**

| System | Best For | Complexity | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pen + Paper / Bullet Journal** | Analog lovers, very simple workflows | Very Low | $5 (notebook) |
| **Todo list app (Todoist, Things)** | Personal tasks, simple workflows | Low | Free-$5/mo |
| **Kanban board (Trello, Notion)** | Visual thinkers, multi-stage workflows | Low-Medium | Free-$10/mo |
| **Project tool (Asana, ClickUp, Notion)** | Multiple projects, client work, collaboration | Medium-High | Free-$20/mo |
| **Spreadsheet (Google Sheets, Airtable)** | Custom workflows, data-driven tracking | Medium | Free |

**Selection criteria:**
- Just you? → Todoist or Notion
- Working with contractors or clients? → Asana or Trello (easy to share)
- Multiple concurrent projects? → Notion or ClickUp (databases + views)
- Like to customize everything? → Airtable or Notion

**Recommendation:** Start simple (Todoist or Trello). Add complexity only when simple stops working.

## Step 2: Organize Work into Projects and Tasks

**Hierarchy:**
```
AREA (broad life/business domain)
  ↓
PROJECT (has a defined end state)
  ↓
TASK (single action, completable in one session)
  ↓
SUBTASK (optional, breaks task into smaller steps)
```

**Example:**
```
AREA: Marketing
  PROJECT: Launch email nurture sequence
    TASK: Write 5 emails for sequence
      SUBTASK: Draft email 1
      SUBTASK: Draft email 2
      [...]
    TASK: Design email templates in tool
    TASK: Set up automation triggers
    TASK: Test sequence with dummy contact
```

**Project definition rules:**
- A project has a clear done state: "Launch email nurture sequence" → done = sequence is live
- A task is a single action: "Write email 1" not "Write all the emails"
- If a task feels overwhelming, break it into subtasks

**Active project limit:** As a solopreneur, keep 3-5 active projects max. More than that and progress stalls on everything.

## Step 3: Prioritize Using Eisenhower Matrix

Not all tasks are equal. Use the Eisenhower Matrix to decide what to do now, later, delegate, or delete.

**The Matrix:**

```
                Urgent
           |               |
Important  | DO FIRST (Q1) | SCHEDULE (Q2)
           |               |
-----------|---------------|------------------
           | DELEGATE (Q3) | DELETE (Q4)
Not        |               |
Important  |               |
```

**Quadrants:**
- **Q1 (Urgent + Important):** Crises, deadlines, critical bugs → Do immediately
- **Q2 (Not Urgent + Important):** Strategic work, planning, skill-building → Schedule time for this (most valuable work)
- **Q3 (Urgent + Not Important):** Interruptions, low-value requests → Delegate or decline
- **Q4 (Not Urgent + Not Important):** Busy work, distractions → Delete

**How to use:**
1. Every morning, categorize your task list into Q1-Q4
2. Do Q1 tasks first (if any)
3. Block time for Q2 tasks (this is where growth happens)
4. Minimize Q3 (say no, automate, or batch it)
5. Delete Q4 entirely
