Prototype ideas through small experiments from "summary" of Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett,Dave Evans

When faced with a tough problem or a big decision, it can be tempting to spend hours analyzing and trying to come up with the perfect solution. However, this approach often leads to paralysis by analysis. Instead of getting stuck in your head, the key is to take action and start testing out your ideas in the real world. By prototyping your ideas through small experiments, you can quickly gather valuable feedback and learn what works and what doesn't. This iterative process allows you to make small adjustments along the way, rather than waiting until everything is perfect before taking action. This way, you can avoid wasting time and resources on ideas that may not actually work in practice. Think of prototyping as a way to test out different possibilities and see which ones resonate most with you. It's about taking a hands-on approach to problem-solving and being willing to embrace uncertainty. By trying out different ideas in a low-risk environment, you can gain valuable insights and uncover new possibilities that you may not have considered otherwise. When prototyping, it's important to approach each experiment with a curious and open mindset. Instead of viewing failure as a setback, see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Each experiment is a chance to gather data and refine your ideas, getting you one step closer to finding a solution that truly works for you. So, the next time you're faced with a challenging decision or a complex problem, don't be afraid to roll up your sleeves and start experimenting. Embrace the process of prototyping and see where it takes you. Who knows, you may just stumble upon a brilliant solution that you never would have discovered otherwise.
