Brainstorming!
My brain works best in post-it notes, but I'm bad at keeping them in straight lines--whoops!
This is what my "brainstorm every step between where you are now and finishing your big goal" looks like--and it was at once both reassuring and overwhelming to get it out of my head and on paper. Breaking it up into post-it note chunks makes it seem more like an achievable thing. Difficult (and admittedly still overwhelming), but achievable!
