How do I break a big task into small steps?
You will hand over one big chore and get back small, easy steps.
A big job can feel heavy. Your mind freezes. That is normal.
ChatGPT is a free helper you type to. Tell it the one big thing you must do. It breaks it into small steps.
Small steps feel doable. You do one, then the next. The big job shrinks before your eyes.
Try this
- Open ChatGPT and name your big task.
- Ask it to break the task into small, simple steps.
- Read the list and pick the first step.
- Do just that one. Come back for the next.

You do not have to do it all today. One small step still counts.
