One perfect step at a time
One thing I try to do is to break down my big goals into a series of little ones. Sometimes these steps can be as small as one new blog post or one new web page. Alone, those simple tasks don’t really count for much but when you add them all up, wow, now you are getting somewhere.
There is a catch, however, and it is this: I try to do everything as perfectly as I can. Sure, I screw up as much as anyone but if my successes outnumber my failures, then I’ve done alright.
Now that I think about it there is one more catch and that is that you mustn’t spend a crazy amount of time on any one thing. If you do, you end up bogging down your entire plan. There comes a time when you have to be done with whatever it is and move on.
