When Project Interruptions Kill Momentum (And How We Fixed It)
Jun 19, 2025
How we completed our website build without losing track - even with constant interruptions
The Long Project Problem
Longer timeframe projects used to be a nightmare.
Building websites are a perfect example of this challenge.
Not that they're technically hard… but because project completion that goes over longer timeframes is typically challenging.
The questions that plague every extended project:
- What have we done?
- Where were we up to?
- What's up next?
Let alone knowing when the images were done, the copy done, the forms setup…
The Hidden Cost of Poor Tracking
Not being able to see progress meant mentally trying to keep track and asking for constant updates (or searching and scrolling through Slack chats!)
The real risk? Consistent loss of momentum.
Every interruption becomes a project killer when you can't quickly see where you left off.
Our Solution: MagicBoards in Action
Of course, for this new website build of MagicBoards website… we used MagicBoards to complete the project. (Two thumbs up for integrity!)
You can check out the actual board here: https://app.magicboards.io/public-board/1744104408893x963555836535767000

The MagicBoards Method in Effect
The process is simple:
- List out the desired results and the work to get them
- Track both
It's nice to watch each item move from "not started" to "working on" to "done".
We also track links and other useful info to speed up the project.
Handling Interruptions
So if we get interrupted? No problem.
A quick glance at the board shows exactly where we are up to…
And making progress? Feels great.
Moving tasks and results from "working on" to "done" is genuinely satisfying.
The Result
So the new site is up: www.magicboards.io
It's not Silicon Valley fancy - but it's up and completed.
That's the power of knowing exactly what's been done and what hasn't using a structure that works.

Do them a favour and let them know the MagicBoards Method might just be what they have been looking for.
Progress you can see is progress that gets made.
