A small practice for the awkward instruction

Original practice · Optional exercise · Observation before explanation

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: One person misreads a step in a guide.
2. Use the misunderstanding as a question to investigate with other readers.
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.
