Why That Tiny Task Is Costing You Big (and How to Fix It)
Jan 14, 2026
You know that quick task you keep forgetting to do?
The DM you meant to reply to.
The checkout link you still need to test.
The final file upload that would make your offer officially live.
They seem small. Almost too small to bother writing down.
But here’s the truth most women in business don’t realize:
Those “tiny” tasks are often the very things standing between you and income.
Your to-do list isn’t just a productivity tool.
It’s a profit plan. And those “little” tasks? They often delay the things that actually bring money in.
→ You've got a course 85% done…
but haven’t uploaded the final video to your Kajabi library.
→ You planned a simple promo for your new freebie…
but didn’t actually hit “publish” on the product page (due to fear or doubt).
→ You wrote the email funnel…
but still need to set the subject lines + check the links.
Tiny tasks.
But they’re the difference between “almost launched” and “Stripe notification.”
These tiny follow-through moments are where momentum is built.
Why You Keep Skipping Them:
- They're not sexy.
- They're not hard… just annoying.
- You think: “I’ll just do it later.”
But these quick tasks are actually how momentum is built.
They're the connective tissue between you and your business outcomes.
Here’s How to Make Quick Tasks Work for You:
1. Create a 15-Minute Power Pocket
→ Schedule a daily block for “Loose Ends” — quick, revenue-tied tasks like:
- Uploading an IG reel with CTA
- DM-ing a warm lead back
- Sending your onboarding email
- Updating the broken Stripe link
This is the bridge between idea and income.
2. Stack Quick Tasks by Category
Group them to avoid tab-hopping and brain fatigue.
- Batch all “link fixes” or “DM replies” into one sprint.
- Handle social tweaks in a single time block.
3. Celebrate Small Completions
Your list should reflect the actual wins:
- Added the bonus module
- Uploaded the digital download
- Scheduled the 3-post launch sequence
