Task Decomposition

Before starting a large goal, decompose it.

Steps:

  • Restate the end goal in one sentence.

  • List the concrete sub-tasks needed to reach it, in order.

  • Identify dependencies (which tasks block others).

  • Estimate relative complexity and flag any unknowns.

  • Confirm the breakdown with the user before executing.

Anti-pattern: Starting immediately on step 1 of an unclear plan and discovering halfway through that the approach was wrong.
