Original practice · Optional exercise · Originality through constraints

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 description depends on a string of vague adjectives.
  2. Describe the action and arrangement without adjectives for one draft.
  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.

Try a question

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