Weeks.

Segment your time to complete things into weeks. Months have too much wiggle room and days are too tight. Most people don’t even have the weeks option displaying on the digital calendars (phones, laptops) they use.

For long term projects of any kind using the week as a unit of time is the best way to cross the finish line.

This is possible for personal projects and for entrepreneurs. If you can get into this time frame in an organisation you are going to have a much easier time with your projects.

Another important point is not to overload the time either, if you end up completing something within a few days do not move to the next phase within that week. Stick to the schedule.

In my current company, we have a "calendar week" based schedule. Everything is planned based on that time segmentation principle. For example, "the start of production is planned for calendar week 45" - that is it, no month, no quarter no date - simply, the 45th week of the year.
