Yeah but he had to steal 700 of them before he found one that worked, so, you know, credit due and all that....

Many thanks for reminding us. When I am overwhelmed I put a timer for 10 minutes and focus on one thing, I tell it is only 10 minutes of focus. Before I know it, I will have finished multiple tasks and my mood and motivation is in a better place

One of the trainers at my job would tell us “How does a lion eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Stop focusing on the whole elephant.”

Rewritten to:
"I have not failed 700 times, (my assistants did). I have not failed once, (to steal instead of invent). I, (and my overpaid, leg-breaking thugs), have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways (of doing the legitimate, hard work of actual inventing), will not work. When I have eliminated the ways (of allowing fair competition that doesn't involve threats or bullying), that will not work , I will find the way ( to bribe, coerce, threaten, or outright vandalize property and destroy other legitimate inventors lives), that will work."

You can’t get to the last step until you start the first step. If you know your goal you will get there your way.

Got overwhelmed the first day at my job. Boss stopped me and said “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”

Ryan Hall (distance runner) shared the same sentiment on Peter Attias podcast. He would always get overwhelmed when he thought about how much longer he had to run to finish a race. But he knew that he could put one foot in front of the other right now. So thats all he would think about deep into any long distance race.

You DON’T know the total size or even what will happen to the staircase in the future. It’s like this staircase is in a pitch black room and you have a preconceived idea of how big the staircase is but it’s based on a very biased, irrational, impossible to calculate set of assumptions and so the staircase could be super short or it could be even longer than you anticipate. But there’s one option you have unless you wanna sit in a dark closet at the bottom of a staircase. Take it one step at a time.
