And the smaller the steps, the easier they are to individually complete. And the more dopamine rewards for crossing each one off the list. And the more self-rewards you get for making said steps, which means the more reinforcement you're getting for working on the task at all, despite not having had to do the part you didn't want to do to begin with.

And lastly, I've found the breaking out the steps helps a lot with being able to identify places where I can take a break. When its all one giant task in my head, it sounds like something that can take forever. But when its broken out like above, its obvious you can take a break after the store, or after researching the grill, etc, which is way easier than trying to tackle it all at once.
