How Do You Eat an Elephant

You have undoubtedly heard the old joke: How do you eat an elephant? The answer: One bite at a time. Consider these situations:

• You have a huge project due. The amount of work seems overwhelming. You don’t even know where to begin. But then you remember how to eat an elephant…
  
  
• You are about to paint your house. You have cans of paint, brushes, tarps, and everything else you need. Suddenly you find yourself asking: “What was I thinking?  I can’t do this. But then you remember how to eat an elephant…
  
  
• Tax deadline is looming. You have dozens of receipts in boxes and files. Everything is spread out in front of you on your dining room table. You immediately feel as though you need to take a nap. But then you remember how to eat an elephant…

This week notice and write down what happens when you take small steps (or bites, as the case may be) in the right direction.
