Focus on Completion

Many of us lose focus of what's important when it comes to project management. We might get caught up in organizing the project, in laying out a task list and timeline, and assigning tasks to different team members. We might get caught up in meetings about our projects, in sending e-mails, and in instant-messaging people about the project. We might get caught up in the technology of it.

But the real focus of any project should be in getting it done. Completion. Each day, put your focus on moving your project forward to completion. Put aside distractions, and put all of your energy into one project at a time - you can switch to another of your three active projects when necessary, but at any given moment, just focus on one project. And move it closer to completion, until you're done.
