Eating an Elephant

Last night I met with my psychologist. It is quite apparent that I have some type of ADHD. I can see problems from a global scale and get completely overwhelmed and avoid them. At other times I get bogged down unnecessarily on details.

We discussed breaking tasks down into small, manageable pieces - pieces that I can handle and commit to doing for a short period of time.

Kinda like eating an elephant. Eating the whole elephant is an overwhelming task when considered from a global perspective. But, when the task is broken down into subtasks, the task is not as overwhelming.

I know this, but I haven't applied this to my life that well. So now I start.
