I'm sure you know about the software, Internet Download Manager. In case you don't, it is a software used to download files from the internet. Software like that are called download managers.
Download managers have the reputation of speeding up downloads by up to 5 times the normal speed.
How does download managers like Internet Download Manager (IDM) do this?
In lay man's terms, when you ask IDM to download a file, it begins downloading the file from the server. It then splits the file into different segments and downloads those segments individually after which it rejoins all the segments to create the final full file which you requested.
For example, if you wish to download a 8MB worth of file, it'll probably split that file into, say, eight different parts of 1MB worth of files and download each of them independently of the other. After successfully downloading all 8 parts, it combines them all to one full 8MB file. By doing this, IDM significantly accelerates your download.
When I discovered this fact, something went off in my head. 'Interesting', I thought. If this principle works for a download manager, don't you think it'll work in our day to day challenges?
Most of us try to handle our challenges head on. We try to tackle the full challenge as a whole. By doing this, we are like a man who wishes to eat a whole elephant all by himself, and is attempting to do so in one bite.
Why not try to split your challenges, problems and issues into manageable chunks or parts, just like IDM would do? Why not tackle parts of the challenge individually before summing them up and having a full solution to your challenge?
Why not learn a lesson from Internet Download Manager?
