Do one thing, everyday.

And, he routinely used ask me “how do you eat an elephant?”. The first time, I thought he meant it literally, and I answered “with a fork and a sharp knife; or chopsticks, depending on here I am in the world”. His reply “regardless of utensils, you eat it one bite at a time”.
The same way we accomplish everything. One step at a time. Do the next logical thing to do, to achieve your goal. Then the next, then the next. That’s all. Just, do one step EVERY D#*M DAY!! Every day. Then at the end of the day, remind yourself of the one thing you did one thing to move your idea forward. And, fall asleep thinking about what you will do the next day. That way you get a dopamine hit and get to sleep on your plans.
One thing. Everyday.
