17. Not Breaking Down Big Projects
Big projects look overwhelming and often lead to stress and procrastination.
Time management tips:
- Break it down. Whenever you start a new task, break it down into steps that you can complete in 20–30 minutes, even if they look trivial.
Your goal is overwhelming you
If you procrastinate because your goal seems too much and you don't know where to start, break it down into smaller parts. It will be easier to tackle.
Make a rough project timeline and identify the first chunk to get started with and within the first chunk, the very first action.
How To Get More Done
