Coordinate you insight with the tip that I've criticized. Do you break your big projects into tiny enough pieces until you have pieces are no longer the most important thing so that you can get something else done?<br /><br />"This comment seems to say, "If something's really big, then don't do anything.""<br /><br />But I didn't say that. I said the tip is wrong. The tip is "One thing at a time. Most important thing first. Start now." If you want to explain why I'm wrong, explain why the tip is right.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-61521091267750598942010-05-11T20:22:41.727-04:002010-05-11T20:22:41.727-04:00"if the important thing is huge," then b..."if the important thing is huge," then break it into smaller pieces.<br /><br />How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.<br /><br />This comment seems to say, "If something's really big, then don't do anything." Don't do is wrong. Don't do isn't an option. Do something. Do something small. Do something big. Do the first thing. Do the next thing. DO SOMETHING.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375555064513373895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-87751551871542235682010-05-11T20:16:38.244-04:002010-05-11T20:16:38.244-04:00This tip is wrong if the important thing is huge. ...This tip is wrong if the important thing is huge. We all do lots of little things that aren't very important. We keep our spirits up with variety and fun. I object to this tip! It's too nose-to-the-grindstone. It works for some people, maybe, but you need to know whether you are one of those people. I think the world's a better place because most of us are not.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.com
