Thanks Alex for sharing this. It's such a good reminder. I like how you've listed out perseverance and creating small milestones to get you moving towards the next step no matter how small the progress.

It may suck that day or week but if you can find some sort of goal to complete that day as small as it maybe it will give you the motivation to keep moving forward.

This is definitely key. A single step doesn't get you far, but many small steps covers a lot of ground. I've tried to do this often, taking a huge task and breaking it down to the smallest, action that I can definitely take for the sake of keeping the momentum going.

Yea not a problem I am glad you enjoyed reading it. And yea breaking things down I feel like is really the most efficient way of doing things. Especially with out just getting over whelmed and hitting that burnout stage.
