Counted the drawer boxes on my last kitchen job. 47. Felt like fewer.

Geez, that number really hits you different when you actually stop to count it. It's funny how our brains just gloss over the small repeated steps that add up to something huge. I've noticed that with pretty much any project, the mental estimate is always way lower than the real total, and that gap kind of sneaks up on you.

I get what you mean, @laura_white99, but I kind of see it the other way. For me, breaking it into small steps makes the big number feel less scary.
