Break It Down
Break It Down is a five-day sweep. Ten minutes a day, one stuck task on your list, opened into every part that’s actually hiding inside it.
There’s a task on your list that hasn’t moved
It’s not one task.
It’s a project wearing a task’s clothes, with thirty or forty smaller jobs folded up inside it. And that's the reason it never fits in the fifteen-minute gap you keep trying to give it.
And knowing that in general doesn’t move your project along. Your task has its own hidden parts. The decisions you haven’t noticed that you’re avoiding. The waiting-on-other-people. The boring bits between the interesting bits. Until you can see those, the task just sits there.
That’s what this is. Five days, ten minutes a day, and my four sweeps. The questions that I use to open up any project. And you will run against your own list.
Five days. Ten minutes per day. One project finally seen in full.
How it works
Buy it and a welcome email arrives straight away. Nothing to prepare beyond having your to-do list where you can see it.
Day one lands the next morning. You pick your task (the one that’s been there longest) and empty out everything you already know is inside it. Ten minutes.
Days two to five, one sweep a day. Each email teaches you one place hidden work hides. The deciding, the waiting, the admin, and the projects hiding inside the project - and gives you the exact questions to find it in yours. Ten minutes each.
Alongside every step, you’ll watch the same sweeps open up a real example from start to finish, so you always know what yours should look like
By the end of day five, your one task is a full list. Each one marked for what it is. And most of them turn out to be small. And that is rather the point.
What you leave with
Your project, opened up into every little task.
Every part marked for what it is - a doing step, a decision, a wait, or a bit of admin.
The four sweeps themselves. Questions you’ll be able to run on any project.
A one-page template to reuse.
And the thing that’s harder to put on a bullet point. The moment you look at the finished list and think 'no wonder I couldn’t do this in a spare fifteen minutes'. And stop blaming yourself.
Hiya, I’m Sally.
I’ve spent years managing complex projects, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that vague is the enemy of done.
I don’t do perfect productivity, but I do do logical, down-to-earth plans that get results without the meltdown.
That line has been on your list long enough. Ten minutes a day, five days. Let’s see what’s actually in it.
