A big task can freeze you in place. The fix is to cut it into small pieces.

ChatGPT is a free helper you type to, like a text. You describe the whole task.

It will spread the work across several days. Each day you finish one small part.

Try this
  1. Open ChatGPT and start a new message.
  2. Describe the big task and your deadline if you have one.
  3. Ask it to split the work over several days.
  4. Do just one day's piece at a time.
A message you can copy

I need to do this big task: [describe it]. I want to spread it over [number] days. Please break it into small daily steps I can actually finish.

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
