Use a GANTTchart if needed. Define the sub-activities and tasks that have to occur to deliver the goal on-time. Place each task in your calendar and list all the people/resources required for you to complete it. Set a hard deadline when you want to see it DONE. Be reasonable and honest with yourself. Do it today.
Rather than the traditional approach of a business plan or a detailed GANTTchart, James Woosley provides a streamlined approach that is more practical and action-oriented.

Ganttcharts – Ganttcharts are ideal for showing the status of the project in real time. Make sure you detail it online like the Michael A. Peck MAPA Group have. This is advisable for cases whereby there are lots of stakeholders and important matters to be discussed.
However, is a good Ganttchart that is predicated on simply coordinating activities (steps) with the proper float and interdependencies adequate to ensure the successful execution phase of the project?
Tools with built-in scheduling charts, such as Ganttcharts, help estimate the amount of time needed per task, send out automated reminders, whether as calendar or email reminders on desktops or smart devices, as well as automatically adjust the timeline to account for early completions or delays.
Individual consultants and consulting firms alike must build branded digital solutions that reinvent consulting, changing it from being a project on a Ganttchart to being a solution that persists (through a subscription) far after the “engagement” ends.
Action plans and Ganttcharts can span many pages in pursuit of precision and concreteness. But such a simplistic view of execution can be misleading and can reduce actual impact. In fact, several frequently observed traps result from such a view of execution: Losing the plot.
