These aren’t just two random words I put together, I promise.
There’s a balance we have to strike between dreaming big and actioning small. It’s a tricky one to get right.
If we spend all our time focussing on the giant goal- or even the just big task for the week- we can freeze. A bit like Medusa has paralysed us.
This is called over chunking. It’s looking at too many chunks of information or tasks at once.
It’s being daunted by the giant elephant, the whole mountain or the entire dissertation…
I think back to some monumental tasks I’ve undertaken in the past and I’m almost certain I’d never have even started if I knew all it took now.
So when we are at the foot of the mountain, we have to simultaneously know about the peak while just taking one proverbial step at a time.
Get this balance right and I’m pretty sure we can do anything.
