Last: Chunking
Next: Time-blocking
Warm-up:
Alright, warm up time. I missed yesterday's update - d'oh. But it is what it is. Lesson there was to ensure I write in the morning before anything else. Same time. That discipline of same time matters. I let some of my other work responsibilities get in the way. Important, yes, but should not get in the way of something committed to. Either way, today will be writing double the amount (1,000 words). Had some inspiration while reading www.eloquentjavascript.net, so may include some additional examples to the Chunking chapter from there. Ok, time to dive in.

In the book by author Matthew Michalewicz, called Life in Half a Second, he talks about Goal Pyramids. The Goal Pyramid is a way of visualizing what we discussed in the chapter on Chunking.
At the top of the pyramid, you have your main goal (the larger, more abstract, potentially identity-based aim).
From here, you sub-divide this into sub-goals or large milestones.
Below this, you sub-divide further into sub-sub-goals or "medium milestones."
Then, in the lower layer, you outline your smallest milestones.
Here's an example (imagine you're someone at the age of 15):
