    When beginning a project as complex as a Duramax conversion, it's helpful as you work through the project to use checklists, and then concentrate on one or just a few steps at a time. A person can become bogged-down and discouraged when contemplating the entirety of the project. Again, just concentrating on a few steps at a time helps to keep you focused, and allows you to see and measure progress in real terms.

    When our project was in the planning stages, and while actually working through the conversion, I created many lists that I used to help keep me focused. Here's one of those lists (yes, I kept them all).



    When taken as bite-size chunks, the project becomes doable for most people. A list helps keep you focused....

    This is excellent advice. I have done this and it makes me more focused and also helps me plan ahead so I have the parts I need when I have the time to do the work.
