But then some smartass says “just break the huge task into small ones!”

So then you take your sword. And you chop away at the huge task.

And then there’s an army of small tasks. They look at you, hungrily.

Then they attack, like a swarm of angry geese. You’re lying there prone on the floor while their deadline-shaped mouths peck at you relentlessly.

Meanwhile, smartass guy says it’s your own fault for lying down.
