I heard a coworker drop this cliché the other day, and a bunch of thoughts sprang to mind in rapid succession.
"Actually, I generally like to take a week at a time, myself." A completely smart-aleck observation.
"I think I'm going to try to take the next four days all at once, then go moment by moment thereafter." A Hawaii reference, for me. I'm antsy to get there, but want time to pass slowly while we're with our dear ones!
The thing is, on the one hand we sometimes bite off more than we can handle, and sometimes fail to plan enough in advance for success. So the "one day at a time" adage has some places where it serves well and others, well, not so much. Everyone knows this, of course, so a couple examples.
If you eat a doughnut in the morning, figuring that the damage is done for that day and to make a fresh start on eating better tomorrow, you're going to lose a lot of battles that you're not even in.
