Small methods make your code easier to understand, in particular if combined with a good name. Besides, if your method is small, finding a good name is usually much easier.
For example, if you find yourself adding comments to a method's body, this is usually a good sign to extract the commented part to a new method, and use the comment as a starting point when coming up with a good name for this new method.
Commonly applied refactorings include:

This check looks for variable assignements that are either overwritten by other assignments or where the variable is not used subsequently.
Both the
$myVarassignment in line 1 and the$higherassignment in line 2 are dead. The first because$myVaris never used and the second because$higheris always overwritten for every possible time line.
