TasklingBig task? See the very next step.
Taskling breaks a large task into small steps, so instead of "pitch deck" you see "open the deck and write the title".
A task that is too big or too vague is hard to start, because your brain cannot see where to begin. Breaking it into steps makes the first action obvious and small enough to begin right away.
How it helps

Each task can hold a short checklist of steps, right on your Today screen.
Sprig can draft them
Ask Sprig to break a task down and edit the steps it suggests.
