A small practice for the unclear handoff

A practical exercise: Add the intended next action beside the link.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Thinking in sequences

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 file is sent without saying what the recipient should do.
  2. Add the intended next action beside the link.
  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.
