Productivity is heightened when we use tools such as a weekly or monthly sprint organizer. A "sprint" is simply one leg of a longer journey, such as one module in a longer playlist.
By planning how you will break down the learning and doing, you are more likely to avoid conflicts with other responsibilities, feel more comfortable with how much you are taking on at a time, and be more consistent with any commitments you make to collaborators.

If you would like a way to track your progress through the components you will build/create in these modules, feel free to make a copy of the checklist on the right.
The first tab is a template and the second tab is a checklist with some of the learning and doing tasks started for you. The tasks are color-coded by module to help you organize your learning and doing. You can copy tasks you want to complete from the Learning Pathway in each Module.
Populate the Date column to plan out your time spent on the module. When you complete a task, check the box and it will automatically strike through the Task and change the "Completed" count at the top --> VERY satisfying!
Don't forget to personalize it so it matches which tasks you need/want to complete. You can also make new tabs and keep your to do lists separated by module.
Click on the image above to access the template and then make a copy to save into your Google Drive.

If you are a user of the Google Suite, try Google Keep as a way to create checklists that will help you see what there is left to do (or to track To Do, Doing, and Done tasks). You can also export lists from Keep to Google Docs.
Stay productive and accountable: Keep allows you to add collaborators to your lists and set due dates that automatically sync with Google Calendar.
If you want to learn more about how to use Google Keep (and how to integrate it with Calendar and Gmail), watch one or more of the video tutorials below.
