Original practice · Optional exercise · Small beginnings

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: Every tool is out but no material has been chosen.
  2. Select one material and put the unused tools aside.
  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.
