Yes, start with the end square and work your way backwards. It is often only a single path that leads you there for the final steps. Once you develop the path close enough back to where you are then it’s easier to see how you can get onto it. Then just follow it.

Incidentally, this is also a good strategy for planning and breaking down goals in real life: begin with the end goal, then work your way backwards.
