Breaking down the goal
Action planning - breaking down the goal
When we have a large job to do it is often much easier to break it down into smaller tasks. The same idea applies when we want to reach a certain GOAL.
TASKS are undertaken to achieve TARGETS > GOAL
For example: if you wanted to become Prime Minister of Great Britain there are various steps you may need to take, eg.
