Start with the current step
Name a larger non-fear-based goal, then make the first action small enough to begin now. Later actions can remain provisional.
Graded Task Assignment for achievable steps
Build an ordered path from one large goal to a first action you can take now. Review progress and make a step smaller when needed.

Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Adjust the sequence
Move actions into a gradual order, record what happened, and split a step when it feels too large.
Use with clients
Practitioners can edit the worksheet wording and guidance before sharing it. Client plans and notes stay separate from the reusable template.
Can a client start with one step?
Yes. A goal and one concrete first action can be ready to use while later steps remain provisional.
Does it use exposure ratings?
No. The plan supports non-fear-based goals and records progress without numerical ratings or scores.
