The Salami Slice Method of Getting Work Done

A major reason for procrastinating on big important tasks is that they often appear so large and formidable when you first approach them. Psychologically, it's easier to do a single small piece of a large project than to start on the whole job. The bigger the task you start and complete, the better and more elated you feel. You should try the salami slice or the Swiss cheese method on any task which seems overwhelming when you approach it for the first time.
