Absolutely spot on. I'm always breaking things down like this. It's absolutely true, breaking task down into subtasks and subsubtasks makes it so much easier. Then you have just one tiny task to do at a time.
More specifically, when I write blog posts, I break them down into chunks, and when I'm writing each particular chunk, it can be helpful to imagine that a friend has emailed me asking me to explain it to them. So then I write it as if I was writing my email reply to them explaining it. The thing is, the people reading our blog posts are just normal people. None of it needs to win a literary award. It just needs to be readable, helpful, friendly, conversational. We're not writing a doctoral thesis, we're just writing to normal people in plain English.
Even what I have written here in reply to you is fine for part of an article, and it was really easy to write.
