Well, several weekends came and went. It got put off each time. After all, taking a whole day out of your weekend is difficult.

好吧，好几个周末来了又走。每一次这件事都被推迟了。毕竟从周末中抽出一整天是很困难的。

So, one morning when I was up early, I decided I was going to eat the elephant. But, just one bite.

因此，某天早上我早起的时候，我决定要去吃掉这头大象。但是，就吃一口。

I went out in the garage and cleaned for 10 minutes. I threw some things out. I re-shelved a few other things.

我来到车库，清理了有10分钟。我把一些东西扔了出去，把几样东西重新放到了架子上。

And then I stopped. Then the next day, I did it again for 10 more minutes. By the third day, I was setting a timer. (Really!) And for exactly 10 minutes, I cleaned again.

然后我停了下来。第二天，我又去清理车库了花了十多分钟。到第三天，我放了一个计时器。(这是真的!)我又清理了一遍，精确地用了10分钟。

I was eating this elephant 10 minutes at a time!

我每次花10分钟吃这头大象!

By the end of the week, 80% of my elephant was gone! All with only a few minutes of effort a day! Taking care of the rest was going to be a cinch. And I had momentum on my side.
