Breaking down your work into small tasks allows you to focus on one thing at a time, finish fast, and finish many.
In writing, the small nature of tasks in note-writing systems like zettelkasten and talahardin allows you to consciously shift attention as you finish each task in a reasonable amount of time.
Breaking down writing into small tasks allows you to manage and review realistic goals on a regular basis. It is also one way that writing can be easy.
Other benefits of breaking down writing into small tasks include:
- Working on smaller tasks makes it much easier to get started
- Working on smaller tasks makes receiving feedback easier
- Working on smaller tasks allows breaks without losing the thread
- working on smaller tasks creates a sense of control
- working on smaller tasks develops intuition
To do
- Literature note. Cultivate it to become a permanent note by internalizing it into your Talahardin system.
