2. Steps:
Step 1: Research the Task.
Given the task, look for information on how to do it. A good starting point is asking ChatGPT or conducting an online search. Spend some time reading about the task, watching videos, finding tutorials, tips, and notes.

Step 3: Execute the Task.
Follow the plan created in the previous step. Ensure that you are on track with the timeline and that you are meeting the goals set. If necessary, adjust the plan.
Be flexible and adapt to any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the execution. Maintain focus and discipline throughout the process. Track your progress to ensure you are moving towards your objectives.
