From Andrew Matthews:
Hi zzhen,
ONE BITE AT A TIME
Question:
"How do you achieve BIG goals?"
Answer:
You break BIG goals into SMALL steps.
You list all the small steps -
and then tackle each step.
Does this seem obvious?
Most people don't do it!
Let's say that your office is a mess.
You have been postponing a clean-up for two years.
Seen as ONE BIG job, it is frightening.
So you make a list of small steps ...
Step 1: tidy your desk top
Step 2. empty out the top drawer
Step 3: create new files
Step 4: clean out the bookshelf ...
One step at a time, you can do it.
Research confirms that we are more likely to tackle tasks that we can complete within 15 MINUTES.
Whether you want to write a paper, build a business, or get fit, break your goal into bite-size pieces.
Starting today:
Commit your goals to paper.
Break your big goals into "bite-size" pieces.
You'll achieve more - and you'll be happier.
I will live as a writer who keeps alive the music of the language, holds head and heart together in the words, and writes in hope and passion that one person will be better because he or she reads what I wrote.
