Big Projects Into Day-Sized Tasks - Automatic Breakdown
A project outline is paralyzing. Day-sized tasks you can start.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Chat with Ollama model
Tool to send a chat message with conversation history to Ollama. Use when you need to have a multi-turn conversation with an LLM model.
Why this helps
Big projects feel overwhelming. Your brain shuts down trying to figure out where to start. You need the project broken into micro-tasks small enough that you can commit to one today without anxiety.
- Eliminate project paralysis
- Get clear next action immediately
- Build momentum with small wins
- Reduce cognitive load of large scope
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Docugenerate and Ollama to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Create automation: 'When a project or large initiative document is generated, break it into day-sized tasks.'
- 3Set trigger to 'Webhook - Docugenerate document generation'.
- 4Instruct: 'Analyze this project. Break it into discrete tasks that can each be completed in one day or less. For each task include: description, estimated time, prerequisites, and estimated effort level. Order by dependency. Format as numbered list.'
- 5Review the breakdown in your notification channel - this is your project roadmap into daily actions.
Questions about this workflow
What if I want 2-hour tasks instead of day-sized?
Adjust your instruction - say 'break into 2-hour tasks' and Ollama will right-size them.
Does this handle task dependencies?
Yes - Ollama identifies what needs to happen before what, so you cannot accidentally start out of order.
What if my project is too big to break into daily tasks?
It will create a multi-week roadmap of daily tasks. You just take today's task and execute.
