What's Microproductivity? The Small Habit That Will Lead You To Big Wins

"Breaking tasks down helps us to see large tasks as more approachable and doable, and reduces our propensity to procrastinate or defer tasks, because we simply don’t know where to begin."

So by breaking a larger project down into smaller to-dos, it will be easier for you to identify what step you should take next.

These smaller steps should be written down on a list. 

The main reasons why specific goals are so powerful:

• They force us to make a choice to pursue them and exclude anything that’s irrelevant. This increases our focus.
• They incite effort.
• They inspire us to be more persistent, as we have a clear idea of what success looks like.
• They immediately get our wheels turning on the strategies necessary to attain them.

By breaking down large projects into smaller steps you have the opportunity to receive feedback faster and make adjustments when necessary.

We want to see progress quickly. We enjoy the feeling of crossing something off our to-do list - dopamine is being released. 

By breaking long-term assignments down, you open the door to experience more frequent rewards and dopamine rushes which inspire you to keep taking steps forward.
