Learn how to break up large projects so other tasks can be mixed in along the way

Updated over a month ago

If you have tried to schedule a large task (ex: 10+ hours), you may have noticed that FlowSavvy will schedule that entire task before scheduling anything else, and some of the blocks it schedules may be longer than you want to work on the task in one sitting.

The way to solve both of these problems is to break the large task down into a smaller task that repeats.

For example, instead of creating a 20-hour task, try creating a 2-hour task that repeats daily and ends after 10 occurrences. 2hrs * 10 occurrences = 20hrs total.

This is super customizable, so you can tweak it as much as you need! If you want to work in bigger chunks, do 5 hours every 3 days, ending after 4 occurrences (20 hours total still). Want to jump back and forth between two tasks? Make both of them repeat every 2 days, offset by one day, etc.

Hopefully this helps you make your large tasks a little more realistic by spreading them out, and if you still have questions about how to set this up, please reach out and we'll be happy to help!
