One step at a time

New projects can feel overwhelming, so imagining how you will get from start to finish it hard.

But you don't have to do it all in a day. Pick one small thing that will take you closer to your goal. And focus on that.

Become a person of action

  • Set deadlines and a good tone for the day.
  • Take small steps forward and only focus on getting one small step done at a time.
