How do you overcome the blank page or computer screen in front of you when you know you have a twenty-page report to write? The answer is, “one word at a time.” When I was in graduate school and procrastinating getting starte- don my dissertation, I was effectively paralyzed by the size and scope of my task, since I knew I had to write roughly two-hundred pages of scholarly material. Sensing what was going on, my advisor suggested that I write a page per day, and this advice worked wonders. I certainly couldn’t sit down and just write two hundred pages, but I could write a page a day. The moral of the story here is that doing some small bit every day to advance towards our goal will get us there, no matter how big the goal. Even the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And you can always go one more step, which eventually gets us to our goal.
