I think the mistake is viewing the task as a dragon that must be slayed rather than 10,000 hamsters which need be stomped on in 10,000 days. If we can reframe our large problems into a sequence of small (and potentially even gratifying!) tasks, life becomes easier.

Of all possible things to stomp you chose hamsters?
You made me laugh pretty hard. Re-reading this I’m more disturbed that I framed it as a potentially gratifying task.
Hey, it could be anti-personnel mines...
