Adopting an Experiment Mindset

Instead of making traditional New Year's resolutions, adopting an experiment mindset can lead to more manageable and insightful outcomes. This involves creating small, focused experiments aimed at answering specific questions relevant to personal or professional development. For example, one might pose the question, 'What happens if I share one idea in every team meeting for a month?'. By tracking the results and assessing the feedback, individuals can gather valuable insights without the overwhelming pressure typically associated with resolutions.
