A small practice for the easier question

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: A difficult project becomes clearer after the question is narrowed.
2. Keep the improved question as part of the outcome.
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.
