Original practice · Optional exercise · A place for unfinished work
Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.
- Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: An interesting idea competes with work already underway.
- Write why it is paused and a sensible condition for revisiting it.
- Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
- Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
