Alright, so I kept hearing this name, Craig Bohl, popping up here and there. People were talking about his way of tackling stuff, some kind of method he uses. Sounded interesting, maybe a bit different. I figured, why not give it a shot?
I had this project I was working on, felt like hitting a brick wall. Just couldn’t seem to get things moving the way I wanted. So, I thought, okay, let’s try this Craig Bohl approach, whatever it really is. Didn’t have a manual or anything, just bits and pieces I’d picked up.
Getting Started
First thing I did was try to break down my problem, really small pieces. Smaller than I usually would. Felt a bit silly at first, like I was overdoing it. Spent a good chunk of time just listing tiny steps.
- Listed out every single task, even the obvious ones.
- Tried to see how they connected, drew lines between them on paper. Old school, I know.
- Then I tried to just pick one, the smallest one, and focus only on that.
The Process (and the Mess)
Honestly, it felt slow. Like wading through mud. I kept wanting to jump ahead, tackle the bigger parts. But I forced myself to stick with the plan I’d laid out, this sort of ‘Bohl-inspired’ micro-step thing. It was hard to quiet that voice saying “this is taking too long!”
There were moments I almost gave up. I’d finish a tiny piece and look at the mountain still left and think, this isn’t working. Is this guy Craig Bohl even real? Maybe it’s just some internet thing people talk about.
But then something clicked. After forcing myself through a few of these tiny steps, I realized I wasn’t stuck anymore. The next step seemed clearer because the previous one was so small and manageable, it didn’t feel like a huge leap.
Did it Work?
Well, yeah, kind of. It definitely got me moving again on that project. It wasn’t magic, took a lot of patience, more than I usually have. I don’t know if I did it exactly like Craig Bohl would, probably not. But the core idea, breaking things down super small, seemed to help push through that block.
I wouldn’t use it for everything. Sometimes you need to just dive in. But for those times when you’re really stuck, staring at a wall? Yeah, I might try this again. It’s another tool in the box, I guess. Still not entirely sure who Craig Bohl is, but his supposed method gave me something to try, and it nudged me forward. So, that’s something.
