The step you skip is the one that breaks you

Interesting or boring, small steps are helpful.

When you work on a project you’re excited about, you lose track of time.

Then excitement fades.

You thought passion would carry you.

It won’t.

Breaking it into milestones and tasks does.

This works for boring tasks too.

I get excited to brainstorm, build, debug, test, document.

But filling forms? Writing on paper where one mistake means starting over?

I hate it.

So I do one field at a time.

One line.

One breath.

The work doesn’t care if you’re inspired.

It only cares if you showed up.

Take one step.

Then the next.

That’s the entire game.
