Smaller Tasks, Smoother Projects

Course correct early. Don’t wait for the crash.

The longer someone works without feedback, the higher the risk they go off track.

You assign something. It’s meant to take a day or two.

They head off, do the work, and come back… and it’s not quite right.

Now you’ve both wasted hours.

The better move? Assign work in small chunks.

Then check in early.

How it works:

• Instead of disappearing for 7–8 hours, review after 2–3

• If the direction is off, you can course correct early

• If it’s great, you build momentum and trust

It’s not about hovering—it’s about shortening the feedback loop.

Example:

“Can you work on the first third of the deck today? Let’s review slides 1–5 together this afternoon before moving further.”

Now they’re not guessing.

And you’re not hoping.

Big tasks don’t need big gaps.

They need bite-sized direction and early feedback.
