This is gold. I used to be 'mentally fixed' on goals that required so much time and effort to achieve. Now I celebrate even small victories.

Same here.

I mean, it’s great being able to break a daunting task down into smaller manageable steps; but if you’re struggling for motivation even lots of small daily/weekly tasks can be enough to dissuade you.

Being able to take pleasure in small standalone wins is key.
