the byte n

A decision you can revisit

Define a small choice without pretending it is permanent.

Original practical exercise

  1. Name the choice

    Write exactly what you are deciding and when an answer is needed. Avoid turning one reversible choice into a verdict on your entire future.

  2. Define the experiment

    Choose a small version you can try. State what you want to learn and what would make you stop.

  3. Set a review point

    Choose when to look at the result. Until then, gather observations rather than changing the plan after every small feeling.

  4. Keep or revise

    Compare the result with your question. Continue, adjust, or stop, and note the reason.
