Break tasks into smaller, manageable chunks to overcome procrastination from "summary" of The Now Habit by Neil Fiore

Break tasks into smaller, manageable chunks to overcome procrastination. By breaking tasks into smaller components, you make them less overwhelming and more achievable. When faced with a large, daunting task, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by the sheer magnitude of it. This feeling of overwhelm often leads to procrastination, as you try to avoid the stress and anxiety that come with tackling a big project all at once. However, by breaking the task down into smaller, more manageable chunks, you can make it easier to get started and make progress. Instead of focusing on the entire project, you can concentrate on completing one small piece at a time. For example, if you have a research paper to write, you can break it down into smaller tasks such as researching sources, outlining your paper, writing the introduction, and so on. By completing these smaller tasks one by one, you can make steady progress towards finishing the paper without feeling overwhelmed. Breaking tasks into smaller chunks also helps you build momentum and maintain a sense of accomplishment. Each time you complete a small task, you feel a sense of achievement that motivates you to keep going. Additionally, breaking tasks down into smaller components allows you to better estimate how much time and effort each task will require. This can help you plan your work more effectively and avoid underestimating the time needed to complete the project as a whole.
  1. Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable chunks is a powerful strategy for overcoming procrastination and increasing your productivity. By focusing on one small task at a time, you can make progress towards your goals without feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
