A small practice for the hidden dependency

A practical exercise: Name the missing step beside the task instead of copying it again.

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.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A small task keeps reappearing because another step is missing.
  2. Name the missing step beside the task instead of copying it again.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.

What would you keep if this were an experiment rather than a permanent rule?
