Whatever you do, it is a good practice to plan it out first. As well as make backup plans in cases that your first choice of action fails. This will really help you in the long run. It is a time-consuming process but you're really saving time, and saving your ass later. You'd thank yourself for doing this.
How Do I Start?
Let's do this Steem-styled. We're gonna assign steps to the letters S-T-E-E-M. Let's start:

S - Save a Note!
Make sure to save and write what your plan is. This is the most important thing. It's hard to save everything inside your brain, since there's a big chance of forgetting about it.
Get a physical paper or write it down electronically - I suggest doing it electronically so that it's saved automatically - I suggest using a cloud-synced notepad app. This also helps the environment since you're using less paper.

T - Timeline For Your Plan
Add a timeline for it. When to Start - when to execute - if possible extensions are needed - when to finish. Those are just some of the important things you need to set a timeframe for.

E - Enumerate Everything.
List down the steps from A-Z of what you need to do to execute your plan. Do the same for the backup plans. Just a rough list will do. This will serve as the backbone of your plan.
Make sure to list down everything you can think of and just sort it out later. Re-arrange your list depending on importance and cancel out those things that you don't really need.
E - Explain in Details
Once you have enumerated everything, then explain everything in details. Write it down. have a clear and concise outline of what that step is. Keep it short and simple but do not leave out any important details.

M - Make it Happen!
Plans are good - but they're not really good for anything unless you make them happen. So, try your best to follow the steps you outlined. If it fails, follow your backup plans instead. if those fail, never stop - never give up - just reach out, improvise, build your wings while you're falling down. And I assure you victory.

Stop being a couch potato. Unless that's part of your plan (if it is, succeed and take over the world!).

I'm trying to apply the above tips to make a successful Sndcastle which is @artguildph. believe me when I say it's pretty hard to do. Especially when you'[re too busy to make things, let alone greater things.
Hopefully I can get this project up and running before the month ends. It's a good thing I'm getting lots of help from my moderators: @erangvee @errymil @olaivart.

I'm happy for your sharing, thanks a lot
This helps me a lot. I am a self-confessed couch potato and planning has never really been a strong suit of mine. Thank you, Dev for these insightful articles. Keep it up!
Such a good read! I usually write down my to-do-list when I feel like it hahaha
I will take note on this. Thanks for tips!
Interesting! I'll try this out since I'm usually impulsive when it comes to making decisions. I don't really have a physical plan, but I usually map them out in my head.
Really interesting line ,,We all need to keep ourselves in line at times ,,,thanks.. following now jkenny
i need this! hehehe.
Breaking things down into smaller steps helps me get them done. When you think of things as a whole they can sometimes get overwhelming. Which can sometimes then set in a pattern of procrastinating. Never good. Babe steps all the way.
