When faced with a large problem that feels overwhelming, break it down and focus on the single best next step you can take.

Set realistic goals, take one incremental step at a time and you'll get there.

How to eat an elephant?
Bit by bit.
@addyosmani and with this mentality, you can have multiple goals at the same time. Take a step in each one every day, and, before you know it, you’ll have them achieved effortlessly.

While this method served me for decades as a big org mess problem solver, in any real wrangling the easy steps have likely already been tried. Instead identify that step in the context of root causes & determinants of the system's health. That launches you into the real problem. More times than not for me, the real problem was far easier to work through because others hadn't already tried mucking with it. #ComplexityWranglers #ProblemSolving #RootCauses
