Decompose Aggressively

Decomposition is one of the most reliable habits for making progress feel easy, especially when applied daily. Here are the core points from the lesson:

  • Breaking down large, ambiguous tasks into small, concrete steps helps reduce mental friction and makes it easier to start taking action
  • Practicing decomposition builds leadership skills and supports team collaboration, since assigning scoped work is essential for effective delegation
  • Writing down one key task the night before primes your brain to subconsciously begin planning, leading to more clarity and momentum the next morning
