Question: I wonder what are some good sample ways for breaking down tedious processes, e.g., creation of long content. Most sites present long forms - for example, eBay presents one long form for the details of a selling item. In contrast, I fairly like the way Airbnb breaks down the listing process into, first, a clean outline submission and then several tabs asking for details. I think this substantially reduces mental burden.

Does anyone know of any other sites out there that break down content creation well?

Answer: 
You're asking how to make it **extremely obvious**, so you could write 

*Click to select other dates*

into the textfield. E.g.

*24 August, 2014 (click to select other dates)*
By virtue of having a control which resembles a text field and a button, you have already provided the user with something he or she knows can be clicked. I would also suggest adding placeholder text ('Enter a date...' perhaps?) rather than a default date to prevent the user from assuming that the default date is unchangeable.
