Isn’t that how we solve big problems? By breaking them down? By focusing on the piece in front of us? Ideally, early on, before it gets harder or buried in other problems? (Rivers are more easily forded at their source, goes the expression.) Build some momentum, some confidence as you begin crossing stuff off the list. And most of all, isn’t this what training helps you with? Telling you the first and smallest thing you should do—what your job in this moment happens to be.
