Inch by inch is a piece of cake!

Website design By BotEap.comBy the time I was in law school, I was already a well-known consultant, very busy professionally, and often asked myself, especially when hitting the books, “Why am I putting myself in this misery?”

Website design By BotEap.comIt was then that I was reminded of a saying I first heard from a client:
“Five by centimeter is a piece of cake; meter by meter, it’s hard!”

Website design By BotEap.comUnquestionably, this saying tells us the wise way to do something great, challenging, magnificent or unprecedented. You have to break it down into bite-sized bites.

Website design By BotEap.comRight now, I’m dealing with a current challenge that requires the same approach, one step at a time: writing articles.

Website design By BotEap.comMy goal is very challenging. I am committed to writing hundreds of pieces, being more prolific than ever. But I realize that, having completed important tasks in the past, if I focus on the sheer number, the ultimate goal, it will seem too far away and daunting.

Website design By BotEap.comI tell myself that the big number will come soon enough, if I just commit to keep moving forward, no matter how small or minuscule.

Website design By BotEap.comSo some days, I do a complete takeoff from writing, but I’m still considering what my future topics will be. That’s progress, still, and I need to interpret it this way, to stay positive.

Website design By BotEap.comIf I stop to question the merit of the project in general, I will slow down my progress, so the original decision will not be questioned. It must be standing.

Website design By BotEap.comHaving committed, really given to the task, I can slow down, being more casual, more happily incremental about my progress.

Website design By BotEap.comIt always works, this small approach is beautiful, and I recommend it to you!
