big goals are always fuzzy and overwhelming. what works for me is breaking them down backwards, start with what success looks like, then ask what step comes right before that, keep moving step by step till you reach today. it turns the giant scary goal into small clear actions. also, keep revisiting and adjusting as you learn more. simple, effective, and helps avoid paralysis by analysis.

frameworks like GTD or PARA help but none beats clear incremental steps you trust.
