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
