They would be larger than day-to-day goals, but smaller than weekly goals. Upon completion, recognition (to highlight personal and group efforts within the team) would be offered.

    Keeping the team motivated under time constraints requires a balance of support, recognition, and focus. First, acknowledge their hard work and the challenges they’re facing—people feel valued when their efforts are seen. Then, set clear priorities, ensuring they work on what truly matters instead of spreading themselves too thin. Break tasks into smaller wins to keep momentum and celebrate progress, even small ones. Encourage open communication, offer flexibility where possible, and remind them of the bigger picture—the impact of their work. Lastly, keep morale high with positivity and appreciation. A motivated team delivers its best work, even under pressure.
