chunk

A chunk is a big piece or section of something, like food, work, or even time.

You often use the word "chunk" to talk about breaking things down into manageable bits. For example, if you have a lot of work to do and it feels overwhelming, you might say, "Let me take a chunk of it at a time." This means you'll focus on one part, get that done, and then move on to the next piece. It's like eating a big meal by taking bites - each bite is a chunk of food, but together they make up the whole meal. You can also use "chunk" when talking about time, like saying, "I have a big project due tomorrow, I'll take it one chunk at a time and get it done."
