Instead of overthinking, what if you experimented about it instead!?

How to Undergo YOUR Next Experiment:

1. Identify: What are you curious about? What haven't you tried but want to?

2. Keep the Stakes Low: Don't commit forever, set a time limit, and try it for a given period

3. Pick a Metric to Track: What would success look like for this? What do you want out of it?

4. Debrief: Did you like it? What did you learn? Would you do it again/keep going? What would you change?

5. Decide: Keep, pivot, or quit
