Chip away literally describes breaking off tiny pieces from a hard surface with repeated small strikes. In everyday figurative use, chip away at describes making steady progress against a large task or slowly diminishing a quantity, feeling, or barrier through small efforts over time. It shows that the target is diminishing, but it does not claim that the work is finished.
We spent thirty minutes every afternoon to chip away at the garden weeds.
