3 tips for taking the first step

It’s better to do a little bit at a time, rather than everything at once. Three tips for taking the first step in this. 

Pleasure Hormone
One advantage is that each time we finish a task we are rewarded by 
a dose of dopamine. Each step we complete feels like a triumph and will trigger this ‘pleasure hormone’. This has an important evolutionary purpose: It gives us energy and the motivation to keep going. When our ancestors, for example, went looking for a water source, the success of their quest would give them successive hits of dopamine—one for each clue they found pointing to a water source, 
for detecting the sound of water streaming, and so on.
