In fact, many of us get so caught up in the tiny details that we forget to look at the big picture. This can manifest in anything from a colleague's hurtful comment (big picture: this colleague is usually friendly and helpful) to worrying about a minor flaw in a project (big picture: the rest of the project is great).
In a way, this book is all about the little things, how to deal with problems by breaking them into small pieces and ways to build small blocks and structures of achievement that when combined make you a happier person. But this book also points you to the fact that there are two very different approaches to dealing with “the little things”: the first approach can lead you into a kind of paranoid thinking; The second approach, the kind described here, can help you learn about the little things in your life, and then use that knowledge to deal with the big issues. In other words, it can sometimes be helpful to think about the little things.
I remembered this when I was playing Boggle with my wife. And for those unfamiliar with Boggle, it involves shuffling nine dice into a bowl, and each dice has letters on all sides instead of numbers. You get more points for longer words, and less points for shorter words. There are two strategies for playing this game: you can focus on long words and then collect more points (and they will also look smarter) or you can accumulate more simple points quickly by making shorter words.
I followed the first strategy, focusing on finding long and difficult words in order to impress my wife with them and get high scores in the game. My wife, by contrast, made a much longer list of short words. To sum up, my wife, won the contest by a landslide.
What did you learn from that situation?
Your search for big things and great victories doesn't always pay off, but change often happens by putting small accomplishments on top of each other until the big one is achieved.
Think about a problem in your life that is bothering you right now, and then divide it into three or four parts that can be dealt with. Write each part on a separate piece of paper. Put the paper containing the most difficult part of the problem in your clipboard and set yourself a deadline to deal with it. As you deal with each part of the problem, drop its paper and put the next one in your clipboard. And when you've dealt with all the parts of the problem, and you've thrown away all the papers, reward yourself.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
