Time Management Tips - Big Projects

Time Management Tip for Big Projects!

Have you ever heard the question "how do you eat an elephant?"

This should come to mind anytime you are given or have to do a big task. If you don't know the answer I will tell you at the end if you haven't figured it out.

The "Big Picture" is always nice to have in mind but it can also be very daunting. I mean how can you fathom how to finish something or even start if you are too busy looking at the big picture instead of where you should start.

To save time, and stress and headaches, you should always break big projects up into smaller ones (that you have ideally set a time constraint for). This way whenever you have to do a big task all you have to do is break it down and work on you much smaller task.

It is much easier to make a table by getting the wood first, then measuring, then cutting, then attaching, and finally putting the finish on. Then it is to try and figure out how to get there when you don't know how to begin.

For example how do you eat an elephant? Well you can't eat it all at once! But you CAN eat it one bite at a time!
