Manage episode 438939476 series 1409924
Ever feel like you have a huge project looming, but you just don’t know where to start?
Whether launching a big presentation, tackling a software implementation, or planning an event, the key to making progress often lies in breaking it down into bite-sized, manageable steps. But let’s be honest — while the advice to “just break it down” is popular, many of us struggle with exactly how to do that effectively.
In this episode, we’ll walk you through the strategies that turn overwhelming projects into actionable plans.
We’ll explore the mechanics of breaking things down — from clarifying your vision to reverse-engineering your steps. Plus, we’ll share real-world examples of common projects that might feel daunting and how to make progress one small, doable action at a time.
