Hoop Barrel Theory: The big goal is broken down into small goals and completed one by one
The hoop barrel theory is a reverse theory proposed for the "barrel theory", which means that a goal that is difficult to complete is subdivided into several stages or parts, so that the difficulty of each stage or part after subdivision is greatly reduced until the difficulty can be easily overcome, so that the whole goal can be completed with almost no risk.
For example, if a student wants to memorize 10,000 English words in a year, it may sound like a very difficult task to complete. However, if you break down the task into each day, you only need to memorize an average of 28 words per day. Assuming he spends 4 hours a day memorizing words, he only needs to memorize 7 words per hour. This is achievable for most people.
The large goal is divided into multiple medium goals, the medium goal is divided into many small goals, and the small goal is subdivided into more smaller, easier to complete simple goals. When the simple goal is achieved, the small goal will be easy to achieve; if the small goal is achieved, the medium goal will be easy to achieve; and if the medium goal is achieved, the big goal will be easy to achieve. The achievement of big goals is based on the accumulation of small goals, and the achievement of big achievements is based on the accumulation of small achievements.
