“Baby steps.”

Bill Murray as Bob Wiley in ‘What About Bob?’ (1991) ― Movie

While a joke in the context of this movie, this line sums up the concept of breaking down a large and daunting goal or problem into small and achievable parts or milestones. I tend to get overwhelmed when facing a new and challenging endeavor, so remembering to take one specific and actionable step at a time towards my goal helps move me from feeling overwhelmed to feeling motivated. As an aside, this is a hilarious movie for anyone who hasn’t seen it!
