Objective Decomposition — Turns big goals into next steps
From "launch the product" to Monday's first task
Big goals stall because the next step is invisible. Give ODA an objective and it hands back a reviewable plan — concrete tasks, sensible order, realistic sizes — ready to schedule the moment you approve it.
Sound familiar?
"My goals live in a doc I haven't opened since January."
"Everything on the list is a project pretending to be a task."
"I know where I want to be — not what to do today."
What it does for you
Real work breakdown
Not generic advice — tasks shaped to your objective, each small enough to actually start.
You review before anything lands
The plan arrives as proposals. Edit, remove, add — then approve.
Linked to the goal
Approved tasks stay attached to the objective, so progress is measured, not felt.
Rolls forward with you
Objectives track completion and roll into the next period when life happens.
How it works
- 1
State the goal
"Launch the beta by September" is enough.
- 2
Review the plan
ODA proposes the breakdown; you shape it.
- 3
Schedule it
Approved tasks flow to the scheduler and onto your calendar.
What it looks like
✓ Define beta feature cut (2h)
✓ Set up waitlist page (3h)
→ Write onboarding emails (2h)
→ Recruit 20 beta testers (4h)
→ Bug-bash week (ongoing)

Good questions
Will it flood my list with tasks?
What kinds of goals work best?
Can I re-run it as things change?
