Makes lots of small, fast steps. Don’t work on projects like they’re massive lumbering objects. What I mean is that we shouldn’t look at any task or job as one massive whole that needs to be finished at once. Break every project and every task down into small steps and make many small steps quickly.
Fast, small steps toward progress are agile and efficient. If you mess something up, you catch it before the day is over. If you engross yourself in something massive without delivering work rapidly and in small increments, you may spend weeks working on something only to find out that it wasn’t what the client wanted.
Work is also less overwhelming when it’s broken into small bite-sized pieces. Imagine climbing a ladder that is missing every other rung? It’s hard. But when every step is in place, you can make many small steps to get to the top.
