How do you say "nothing is particularly hard if you break it down into small jobs" in spanish?

Question

Google translate is giving me the answer "nada es particularmente difícil si se descompone en pequeños puestos de trabajo".... Is that correct or would "en pequeños trabajos" be better?

Answer 1

You can say: nada es realmente dificil si vas paso a paso. Its a frace, so you cant translate textualy. My frace say in english nothing is particulary hard if you go step by step. 

Answer 2

" voy caminando paso a paso como las hormigas".

" cada uno pone su granito de arena". 

" voy despacio pero pisando con pie de plomo". 

 

All means going slowly but straightforward to your goal.

The first one is you goes slow but firmly to your goal, like ants-soldiers. 

The second one is each on can help with a little gesture, even minimal, to make a big change.

The third one is I'm cautious but I'm walking firmly to my objective. 

 

Hope it helps, regards, Maria. 

Answer 3

Hi Petter--

 

My Spanish is pretty limited, but I think of "puesto" as a position, as in one's position in a company, or as a post, like working at your post (place).

 

So maybe stick with trabajos. Or...

 

You could use tareas, which means tasks.

 

Again, I am NOT really a Spanish speaker, but I hope this helps!
