How Do You Eat An Elephant?

How do you accomplish something that is so huge it makes you feel overwhelmed? The answer is quite simple: one bite at a time!

When you have a looming project, simply break it down, or chunk it down into smaller bits. For example, if you’re in school and you have 10 assignments/test coming up chunk it down. Make a list in order of due date. Tackle the first one on your list. Once that one is done cross it off the list and move on to the next item.

Check for items that may need some attention earlier in the process and allow time for that. For example, you may need to order a book online. Put in the order right away. That way, when it comes time to work on that project you will have the book you need to work with.

Let’s say you have a fundraising goal of an enormous amount of money. Why not make a thermometer to show how much you’ve raised and how far you have left to go. At first, it may seem intimidating, but set mini-goals to hit along the way. Then you will be able to celebrate the small accomplishments on your way to reaching your final goal.

No matter the goal, you can reach it when you chunk it down to measurable bits!
