I would not undertake important change in my life, such as a house renovation or job application, or progress in my career, relationships, without consulting my "circle of advisors". I have learnt the hard way to plan and validate the plan and to verify progress with my circle.
Perhaps your circle is sons and daughters, your family, or maybe a group from university, and it could be they who consult more with you as there is more change in their lives and because you have more experience or lessons-learnt of managing particular challenges, though you consult them too.
We all go through major changes in our lives such as establishing a savings/pension plans, house purchase/rent, house update, recovering debt or some legal or accounting matter, changing country, job applications... all this kind of thing is talked about exhaustively at meetings or by text (though your advisors are really busy) before it's acted upon.
This clarifies thinking, reduces error and gives heart.
Most of the 'talking' is acrually text msging, but you may like to meet weekly on the chat app (there'll be times when it doesn't work too well with problems of availability).
All this to say, if you can share your projects you can work through them informally...though in practise, by habit now, you'll go through the usual routine, which amounts to conception, validation and verification:
from SWOT analysis of problems/requirements, to goals, to strategies, programs, plans, execution, monitoring and final review.
I don't think things, including warm, humourous, close and supportive relations, would be the same without this practise. It's usually successful !!!
You can start this today.
