A small practice for the ending that repeats

A practical exercise: End with the useful next question or action.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Words that carry their weight

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 closing paragraph restates every point without adding direction.
  2. End with the useful next question or action.
  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.

Try a question
