That doesn't really tell me that you took baby steps to get the project done, it just tells me the work you did wasn't at regular intervals. Each time you worked on it, you could have made a lot of progress, and it still could have been intermittent work. Can you provide an example with this word that does communicate the idea that work was completed in small portions? | |

My car's windshield wipers, for example. They operate once every set interval, but they never get any closer to a "done" state. | |
