Rethinking Traditional Goal Setting
- Traditional linear goals assume certainty and a fixed destination, which rarely holds true today.
- Embracing uncertainty with an experimental mindset allows ongoing learning and adaptation.
Begin With Tiny Experiments
- Start tiny experiments by questioning how you usually do things and try new approaches with openness.
- Treat outcomes as data, not failure, to regain curiosity without overhauling your whole life.
Use Pacts for Experimentation
- Make pacts that specify one action to perform for a set duration, without judgment during the process.
- This commitment lets you collect data and decide if a habit or activity suits you before scaling it.
