Original practice · Optional exercise · Attention with edges
Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.
- Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A reader keeps checking how many pages remain.
- Choose a short stopping point and put the page counter out of sight.
- Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
- Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
Try a question
What would you keep if this were an experiment rather than a permanent rule?
