Technique of Dividing a Task into Various Smaller Components, Facilitated by Using the File-Link Method

Abstract

  This paper presents a technique of dividing a task into various smaller components. While dividing a task into smaller components is important in and of itself, using the file-link method further facilitates this concept. In writing a paper, we are unlikely to get “a one-month paper-writing vacation”, but we are likely to obtain a fifteen-minutes break every day. If we can make good use of this daily fifteen-minutes break, we may achieve writing a paper consisting of 30 components in a month, by finishing a single component every day in this daily fifteen-minutes period. To accomplish this, it is vital to make a content file for a written work consisting of these components, and then from this content file we link each list to the individual component file. By applying this file-link method, we work on a small component without losing sight of the overall task, because we have the content file available. This file-link method may be applied to various types of work to be done on a PC.
