A small practice for the lunchbox colour

A practical exercise: Notice the arrangement before deciding whether anything needs changing.

Original practice · Optional exercise · The table as a notebook

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 packed lunch looks like a collection of similar colours.
  2. Notice the arrangement before deciding whether anything needs changing.
  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.
