Why Small Wins Matter
Psychology tells us about the Progress Principle: the single most important factor in boosting emotions and motivation during a workday is making progress in meaningful work.

Best Practices for AI Subtasks
- Be Specific in the Main Task: The better your task title, the smarter the AI's breakdown will be. instead of "Design," try "Design Hero Section for SaaS Landing Page."
- Edit and Refine: The AI is your co-pilot. If a generated subtask doesn't fit your specific workflow, delete it or tweak it.
