This sounds about right...

If you're overwhelmed by the whole, break it down into pieces --Chuck Close

Sometimes we get so many things going on that it does overwhelm us.. but what I'd associate this with is losing weight. When we first think about losing, we look at the big picture. What? We have fifty, seventy-five, a hundred pounds to lose? Now that's overwhelming. But what if we broke it down to five pound pieces...? Five pounds? Yes I can do that. And after I do that I can do it again. And again. And when we've done it enough times the whole overwhelming number has been reached in an underwhelming way. J
