How do you break down big tasks into manageable steps?

I use some task management systems or tools like Notion to help me break down and track my tasks.

I use FIRST Principle thinking for that

Break down big tasks by identifying the end goal, dividing it into smaller milestones, prioritizing tasks by importance, and tackling them one step at a time with clear deadlines.

First, break the task into broad categories or sections. Then, focus on one section at a time, setting small, clear goals for each step

Instead of seeing the task as one huge goal divide it into smaller bite sized milestones.

Sometimes starting is the hardest part. Break down the task so that the first step is small and easy to complete

I usually set small goals throughout the process. It makes the larger task feel like a bunch of little wins, instead of one giant challenge.

I usually start by jotting down everything the big task involves. Then, I break it into smaller chunks that can be done in one sitting. For instance, if it's a project, I separate research, drafting, and reviewing. Setting deadlines for each mini-task helps too. It’s all about making it less overwhelming!

I usually start by writing everything down to see the whole picture. Then, I divide it into smaller chunks that seem doable, like mini-tasks. Setting deadlines for each part helps a lot. Also, I prioritize them based on importance and urgency. This way, it feels less overwhelming and more organized.

I usually start by jotting down everything the big task involves. Then, I look at it and think about what can be grouped together or what needs to happen first. Breaking it into smaller chunks that feel doable is key. I also set little goals for each step to keep myself motivated. It’s like eating an elephant—one bite at a time!
