A small practice for the finished but unknown task

A practical exercise: Make the completion message part of the sequence.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Thinking in sequences

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: Work is complete but the recipient is never told.
  2. Make the completion message part of the sequence.
  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.
