"The Perfect Moment Probably Won't Ever Come That's because if you wait for it, wait for it, wait for the perfect moment, you could end up waiting for a long time, like forever. Life instead will deliver more messy, fruitcake batter-like moments. Life can be quite nuts-but fruitful if you take advantage of such moments, meaning take action. Therefore, take a baby step-a very small, immediately doable action-toward that career direction of interest."
"The best types of baby steps are those that you know you'll do-namely, things that you'll enjoy. So start by breaking down whatever new career situation you are considering into its component mundane parts-things that you would be doing every day if you were to successfully transition. Then choose one of these parts that you might enjoy doing and just do it-regularly, preferably each and every day."
Many people delay career shifts while waiting for a perfect moment that rarely arrives. Life yields messy, unpredictable moments, and taking immediate, small actions can capitalize on them. A baby step is a tiny, immediately doable action toward a desired career direction. Effective baby steps are low-cost, regular, and based on tasks one enjoys. Break a target career into routine component tasks, select one enjoyable task, and perform it consistently, ideally daily. Examples include creating art daily, offering daily advice for counseling, or doing small daily AI-related activities to build familiarity and test interest.
