I created a list of all possible actions and now treat undoing every action as a separate small task. Now I can mix them with other tasks, still keeping track of what should be done for a big “undo” story. ⬇️
Keeping tasks tiny diminishes another problem: context switching. Because there is not much context to switch with small tasks :) ⬇️
So:
- Break your tasks to smaller ones
- Break your smaller ones to tiny ones
- Mix those with tasks from another area
- Keep a list of everything
