Activity Breakdown
Take one recurring task and break it into its actual parts — including the parts nobody counts. Then choose the version you're doing before you start, so stopping is a decision you made while rested rather than a collapse you have to explain.
What this is for: Finding the cheaper version of a task — stop, shorten, change, delegate or leave — before the day needs it.
One task, written plainly

Before
Everything that has to happen before the task itself begins.

During

Hidden demands
The parts that rarely make the list but still get paid for.
Which parts are optional?
Could anything be delegated?
The smaller version, in one line
Written here, in advance — so the version is chosen rather than discovered mid-task.
You can leave this blank.
What you've put together
Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.
The task, seen in its real parts — with the version you're doing written down before you start.
Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.
There are more options than 'do it' or 'don't'. A smaller version still counts as a different version, not a failed one.
A clean, keep-close version — read it here, or screenshot the page to have it on your phone.
