Schedule fifteen minutes at the end of the week. Here you'll simply ask, "How accurate is my ability to predict barriers or conditions?" You will probably notice how difficult it is to anticipate barriers and conditions without experiencing it first! Did you schedule fifteen minutes this week for this skill? The skill to identify barriers and conditions?
- Yes
- No
If "No", schedule this first.
Pick a task or skill that you are likely to make errors for. This should preferably be a task with a high skill requirement (e.g. sport, music, learning and studying, etc.)
(Write your task here.)
Give your best attempt at performing the skill for an hour. If studying, study for one hour.
- Task complete
How successful was your attempt? If studying, what was your retention and depth of understanding? (this can intuitively assessed or physically tested if you have testing materials)
(Write your answers here.)
What was the lesson type from the experience:
- Barriers
- Conditions
More specifically:
- Were there barriers to success? If so, what?
- Or if not, could there be conditions for success that you are unaware of? What could they be? (You don't have to be certain)
(Write your answers here)
Create a clear focus for experimentation based on what you have learned from the mistake and make another attempt. What is your experiment based on what you've learned?
(Write your experiment here)
Have you gone through another 3 cycles?
- Yes
- No
If Yes, then answer: "How many cycles it takes to start seeing improvements in your outcomes and success?"
(Answer here, if applicable)
If "No", progress to the next step.
Make a new copy of this template and copy-paste this experiment under "Task selection". Follow the template per this experiment...
At step 6, it said in parentheses, "(different subjects, levels of depth, types of challenges, etc.)". I think this will implicitly be done through your experiments, but it's possibly important to keep note.
