Eat an Elephant
How does one eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
I'll be heading to Europe soon for 5 weeks. This is the longest trip I've ever been on. I'll be visiting a few countries: Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. I'm feeling excited.
Planning the trip felt overwhelming at first. There was much to do in terms of accommodation booking, creating an itinerary for each city and determining what needs to be done in advance and what can wait till the day of (do I need to get tickets in advance to attraction X or to do activity Y?)
Breaking it down into bite-size tasks helped make slow but sure progress, where I grouped and tackled the high priority tasks first followed by everything else. This made planning the trip a bit less cumbersome, a bit more pleasant.
