Your life is a combination of repeated tasks and special projects. Repeated tasks include all of your regular weekly, daily and monthly routines. These are essential to your life and while they may have some variety (i.e. beans instead of fish for supper), their repetition minimizes the need for special or extra-ordinary intervention from your brain. Special projects are those things that interrupt or supplement the normal routine. Weddings, major purchases, moving, special events, and business launches are examples. At work you will have a similar combination of routine activities that keep the business moving forward and special projects that might start something new, improve some routine process, or be some other type of one off or seldom repeated set of tasks. These are projects.  You have projects at work, you have projects at home. You HAD projects in school, but hopefully at some point you learned some basics of project management so you can now avoid the mediocre results of deadline-induced all-night
