So making sure that you've defined your task very specifically, and then you've created manageable micro goals or baby steps to get yourself along the path.

And maybe you don't actually...

I guess some people are able to do this, but it's pretty rare that you're able to build yourself a 20-step path with every single baby step you need at the get-go.

You don't know what you need often.

And so by starting with literally anything, it helps get you going to the point where now you know what you need to do next.

And maybe you only ever know five steps at a time, and that's okay because five steps will keep you going to the next five steps, to the next five steps, to the next five steps.

We are so good at discounting anything but perfection and final products and glossy filtered champion trophy stuff that we become paralyzed because from here to perfection is a really, really long journey.

And I don't even know how to get there.

So as soon as you can begin to validate and reward and build baby steps, you're going to be so much better.

And this is not a new concept.

If you think about any time you've ever done any project and including in schooling where people were like, let's brainstorm and brainstorming.

includes ridiculous ideas because just generating thoughts and ideas is a valuable experience that then makes it possible to do the things that you need to do.

So with that, I'm going to wrap up our questions.
