Large work is often intimidating in proportion to how vaguely we hold it. Write the book, build the system, finish the research, repair the relationship: each may be a real commitment and still be too large to serve as the next action.

Big work moves through smaller units. A chapter, a call, a test, a source review, or one difficult sentence gives the commitment a place to begin.

Breaking work down does not make its purpose smaller. It makes the route actionable. Progress may stop because the next move has not been made distinct, even when the purpose remains strong.

The project may be enormous. The next action should be clear enough to do.
