If there’s one thing I know, it’s that we’ve got some BIG dreamers in our wonderful LearnDoBecome community. With BIG dreams comes BIG projects, which can quickly becoming overwhelming without the right tools to tackle them.
In today’s video, I’ll be sharing with you a handy tool that has helped me tackle SO many big projects without the overwhelm: the 10 Minute Microburst! You can learn how I use this tool to tackle big projects by watching the video below:
Timestamps:
[00:00-00:30]: Introduction to Microbursts. In order to tackle BIG projects without becoming consumed by them, I divide the project into subtasks that can be accomplished in 10 minutes or less. I call these subtasks Microbursts, and they are a serious game-changer when tackling larger projects!
[00:30-01:00]: Example #1: Breaking down ‘building a dresser’ into subtasks.
[01:00-01:50]: Example #2: Decluttering my entire kitchen!
[01:50-02:47]: Example #3 Tackling a new work project (HINT: It’s our ARISE membership! If you want to learn about about this you can find the links below).
[02:47-03:08]: More on Microbursts!

This video is epic! I have learned so much from learn do become. I purchased it in 2017. I began it again in 2020. And I’m in it again in 2021 and I am in it to win it and I’m gonna finish it… In microbursts!! Haha!! I just want to thank you guys so much for what you do. I’ve got my command central up and running. I have seen so many positive changes and so excited moving forward because I know there is much more to come!! My home is ORGANIZED, I’m developing great routines and habits, Getting projects completed, feeling lighter and now moving into the ministry God has called me to. Birthing it. I know that I could not have done it without the help I have received from you guys!! So THANK YOU!!!! 😊

This is so great.. Micro-Bursts!
I have something we worked out at our home.
I call it ‘The ten minute sweep’.
To clean up any room or area… you start at the door… you walk into the room and pick up everything you can carry. then keep walking and ‘put things away’ where they belong…(so you are not creating another mess somewhere else in the house).
When three people do this… everyone is either filling up their hands or their arms… or putting things away… You can literally clean up a messy room in 10 minutes.
10 minute sweep. It works wonders. Feel free to implement that into your program. My name is Bill DeMaine III in Spokane Washington, if you feel like giving props. Either way, its my gift to you. Wishing you the best!!
April Perry says
Brilliant! Love it, Bill. I’m sure many who read your comment will be excited to try it, too! Thanks so much!

How do you avoid becoming discouraged at how many microbursts it takes to complete a big project?
