If you have a mammoth task ahead of you, begin with preparation, proactivity, and research.
Next, break the mammoth task into many bite-size actionable items. As you complete the small actionable items, you gradually begin to see some light at the end of the tunnel. As you progress through these steps, the task gradually feels less daunting.
When you are proactive, prepare well, and do your research a mammoth task is not a big deal. The most gratifying thing is the task gets completed well and in good time.
So what starts as a mammoth task, ends up being an enjoyable and fulfilling experience!
