Think Small To Get Tasks Done

“Done” is a beautiful word.

It means you’ve achieved something, no matter how miniscule, a victory in a world filled with defeats. Done means you’ve won, in a battle against procrastination and distraction and endless boring meetings and the constant requests of others, in the battle against a world conspiring to stop Done from ever happening.

To prevent getting overwhelmed, Think Small. Small is better when it comes to getting to completion. It’s easier, with less friction. It’s less intimidating and allows you to stay motivated.

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work.

- Dale Carnegie

But more than that, finishing small tasks and projects are victories. You can quickly get to completion and feel great about it. And that compels you to keep going.
