A small practice for the sunk draft

A practical exercise: Compare its current usefulness with the work still required.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Decisions with a return path

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 draft is kept only because many hours were spent on it.
  2. Compare its current usefulness with the work still required.
  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?
