>> "In situation X I will do behavior Y to achieve subgoal Z"
I was pondering something very similar to this about 10 minutes before he talked about it only I was thinking about changing perspective for the given task, that is:
"what 'mode' do I have to be in to get this done?"
in place of 'Y'.
His short sentence is much more elegant than what I was trying to think but I think 'mode' also fits just as well.
Basically, I think we get too overwhelmed (emotion) with what we have to do and breaking it down into smaller chucks may not be enough. Breaking it down into modes or specialties might make it less daunting. We can all 'plan', 'study', 'code' or whatever hat you need to wear along the way and wearing them all at once, even on a small task can still be overwhelming.
For example, say I have a new coding project but I'm having trouble organising it into chunks as I'm new to the platform/API. What I can do is say "ok, I need to put my 'study' hat on and learn just an overview of how this all works" (study mode) then go back into 'plan' mode to reorganize tasks into further modes to complete item one ('hello world' app say), rinse and repeat.
