Breaking Down Big Tasks Worksheet

Download the sheet, fill in the blanks, and take action. Use it again and again for any project that feels too big, and celebrate each small victory.

This worksheet goes with our newsletter on Breaking Down the Big Task. It’s a one-page tool to help you turn that shapeless overwhelm into clear, bite-sized actions you can actually do.

Think of it as your quick roadmap for when a project feels heavy, fuzzy, or impossible to start. Name your task, map your micro-steps, pick one to tackle first, and keep yourself on track with self-compassion and tiny nudges. Whenever “too much” hits, pull this sheet out, your brain will thank you.
