The idea is simple. First, set a goal and include a time frame for reaching that goal. Next, break that goal down into 3 small things that you can do to reach your goal.

Next, break down the highest priority part into 3 smaller parts and prioritize these new parts. Continue that until you have a list of 3 items that is fairly easy to complete or that cannot be broken down farther. Now, work your way up the tree, completing the …
