Start with the Easiest

I was "zooming" with some friends the other day and one of them mentioned that there was a lot of things that he wanted to get done during this period of social isolation, but he had not done any of them yet. Someone else quickly chimed in with this advice. He said, "Make a list of all the things you want to get done. Then rank them from the easiest to the hardest and do them in that order. Once you get something done--anything--it will be easier to acccomplish the next things on the list."

What a great piece of advice. So often in life we have so many things that we want to accomplish that it can become overwhelming. This time of social isolation is no different. We've all heard the old adage: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

So if you want to get some things done during this time and haven't accomplished much, just take a bite!
