A small practice for the changing conditions

A practical exercise: Record those conditions before interpreting the result.

Original practice · Optional exercise · A kinder measure of progress

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: Two attempts were made with different tools and different time limits.
  2. Record those conditions before interpreting the result.
  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.
