Knobull Creates Steps So Users Can Make Big Career Moves

BOSTON - June 19, 2023 - PRLog -- Lynn Bentley, President of Knobull reported, "Have you ever considered making a big career move only to put it off indefinitely? Maybe you were unhappy in your job and wanted to explore a different career path.

Possibly consider starting your own independent business but could never quite take the leap. The truth is, even if you have an idea that seems appealing to pursue, simply maintaining the status quo in your career tends to involve friction."

Microactions Can Move Your Career Forward

Some have experienced this struggle of taking concrete steps to turn ideas into reality, They find that breaking down ideas into manageable microactions is one way to overcome this hurdle. A microaction is a small, discrete, manageable task with a clear start and end that you can start working on right away and complete without too much friction.

With a switch in career paths, you may need to first take stock of your interests and skills, conduct some informational interviews to assess what options exist for you, upskill by taking an edX course found at Knobull, then start applying.

Completing Small Tasks Is Easier Than Taking Massive Actions

While breaking a goal down into tasks is helpful, the key is to then take the additional step of further breaking these broader tasks into even smaller microactions. For example:

• Schedule an hour to brainstorm
• Write down all those ideas
• Browse through results to trigger additional ideas
• Decide on a criteria to narrow to a lead idea
• Filter ideas using those criteria

Breaking down your ideas into microactions is a simple but effective strategy for creating a new chapter in your career.

Slow And Steady Wins The Race

The process of breaking down your ideas into microactions can be applied to any area of your life, whether it's starting a new business, learning a new skill, or pursuing a new career:

Define your career goal: Start by clearly defining which professional goal you want to accomplish.

Break it down into tasks: Once you have defined your goal, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks.

Break it down further: Try to identify smaller, manageable microactions you could start completing immediately.

Prioritize: Prioritize what needs to be done first, either by importance or sequence.

Schedule it: Block off time in your calendar to complete your microactions.

Take action: Start working through your list of microactions, one at a time.

Completing Microactions Creates Momentum

By breaking down our ideas into microactions, you can begin to move closer to turning your ideas into reality. It's a simple but effective strategy that can help you make concrete strides and achieve actual results.

Bentley concluded: "Figure out a potential first step, break it down, then start taking small actions that create eventual progress. You might just surprise yourself with how far you can get."
