#567 How to use Tiny experiments to make progress at work | Tiny Experiments

The only experiments that fail are when you fail to learn. I think this is such a good definition of what I mean by a good mistake. What is a tiny experiment and how do we design one? Try at first to only run one experiment at a time. Finish your experiment and then you can design the next one.

There's always going to be uncertainty, but what you can change is how you respond to it. Trying to be in control, clinging to those plans. Or you can respond a little bit more like a scientist getting curious and saying saying, okay, I'm not quite sure what's going to happen here. And how should I get started? I'm going to use this space to experiment.

I'm going to use this space to learn, to learn about myself, about my work and about the world around me. We make a mistake in our team, you share it on the same day. Also to stop the mistake magnifying. Any mistake you learn from is a good mistake. Nice.
