Tiny Steps Planning Sheet

Large tasks can feel overwhelming, making it difficult to get started. Breaking goals into small, manageable steps reduces the pressure to do everything at once and makes taking action feel more achievable. Small, consistent actions can build momentum and make progress feel more manageable over time.

This printable behavioural activation resource helps you break tasks into realistic first steps, identify the next action, estimate how long each step will take, decide when you will begin and track your progress. A completed example is included to demonstrate how the worksheet can be used.

Whether you are working independently, alongside a therapist or supporting clients in therapy, this worksheet provides a practical and structured way to overcome avoidance and make progress towards meaningful goals.
