                 Let’s take an example to make a fruit salad.
                 First list the main steps.

                 Step 1  Arrange fruits.

                 Step 2  Cut fruits.

                 Step 3  Add ingredients.
                 Step 4  Serve the salad.
                 Now divide these steps and list the smaller steps.

                 Step 1  Arrange fruits:

                          Step 1a     Think of fruits you want to use.

                          Step 1b     Sort and keep them in a plate.
                 Step 2  Cut the fruits:

                          Step 2a     Wash the fruits with clean water.

                          Step 2b     Peel the fruits if you want to.

                          Step 2c     Pick a knife and cut them into cubes.
                 Step 3  Add ingredients:

                          Step 3a     Add salt to taste.

                          Step 3b     Squeeze half a lemon.

                 Step 4  Serve the salad.

                 The process of completing one step and going onto the other
                 is known as stepwise thinking.
