Completing Big Projects
Imagine a big giant frickin cookie 1000 meters wide.
Now, imagine a little tiny mouse nibbling away at the cookie.
- The mouse can't do it in one sitting or he'll burn out before he finishes his goal of eating the entire cookie.
- The mouse can't just take sporadic small bites or he'll take forever to finish.
Instead, he:
- Nibbles away quickly and as much as possible within a certain timeframe.
- Takes a break.
- Then repeats the cycle.
Eventually, he finishes - excited and ready for another big frickin giant fat mother frickin big cookie.
Nibbles. Nibbles.

This is such amazing advice!
I'm constantly telling people to pace themselves so they don't burn out. I even have to remind myself to slow down on a regular basis.
Throwing yourself into something relentlessly is just going to make you hate it.

True true true. Were all like the little mouse and we need to pace ourselves. A burnt out employee or business owner isnt going to accomplish anything at all, or anything of good quality, if they dread their work.
