Most people in the world have a lot to get done. There are some projects that are so to overwhelming to us that we procrastinate doing them for as long as possible. Then we get more projects and it starts to pile up on us until we don't even know where to start.

But then there's that person we all seem to know who is never ruffled by problems like this. Their life is calm, collected, and they never 'wig-out.' How do they do it? How do they look all those monster-projects in the face and laugh as they sweep them away?

While there are some techniques that work better for some than others there is on technique that works for anyone on any project. This technique is simple. It's simply breaking down your project into more manageable pieces.

Too many people allow themselves to fill their to-do list with large, rather vague projects. 'Clean the House.' How many of us have written that one down, only to have the house look just the same a week later? Or for businesses, something like, 'Increase Productivity.' These are too big. They allow too much room for wondering where to start. You'll find yourself staring at your cluttered house or office, mind blank, until you decide to go do something else.

Break down your project into actual tasks. For example when cleaning the house focus on what you need to do exactly. Schedule it out right down to a starting point. Start in the living room. Start with dusting. Then move on to picking things up from the floor, and so on. If you have to get really specific for yourself do it. Schedule dusting the lamp, then the table, and so on

While you are breaking these things up, write them down! I really can't stress that enough. If you try to keep your to-do list in your head, all the little pieces will eventually conglomerate themselves back into 'Clean the House' and you'll be right back where you started.

The best part about breaking a project down is that you can feel a sense of accomplishment every time you get a few things done. While you might not have cleaned the entire house you did get the living room done. Plus, when you break things down it helps you not try to multitask. Multitasking is good in a sense but usually more a distraction.

By using this technique and breaking down your tasks you are increasing the chance you will get it done. You feel better when you do get it done and you're not overwhelmed by the big picture.
