How to test your ideas against reality.
A flexible five-step approach for rapid learning, momentum building, and reaching your destination.
Step 1
Define your future destination.
To reach your destination, you must first have one. Clarify what your destination looks like. Write this in your notebook or favorite online tool.
Step 2
Describe your current situation.
The gap between your destination and your current situation is the problem or opportunity. This is your starting point.
Step 3
Select and run a tiny week-long experiment.
Divide large problems into smaller ones. Use the 80/20 rule to choose the most valuable experiment to test first. Keep notes on the steps you take. Your future self will thank you.
Step 4
What were the results? What did you learn?
“We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience.”
—John Dewey
Step 5
What’s your next experiment?
Everything is experimentation until you reach your destination. What will you try next week?
