This month’s career coaching newsletter is about chunking big projects into smaller tasks, then into to-do lists.

The next big challenge–the biggest challenge psychologically–is getting started. Not just with the big project, but each and every day with the to-do list.

Start big, but break things down, make lists and start everyday by “picking the thing you want to do least and doing that first.”

The 2016 buzz on career sites surrounds referrals and inside hires as the number one way to land a job–the newsletter has links to the best articles along with brief summaries.
