Episode notes
Define Session Tasks Before You Start
- Structure sessions so you either focus on one task type or pre-define a clear set of tasks before starting.
- Avoid defining tasks during the session if your executive function struggles with transitions.
Use Small, Medium, And Stretch Goals
- Use small, medium, and stretch goals to avoid chronic disappointment from unreachable targets.
- Set a minimum goal so you feel progress even when energy or interest dips.
Experiment Fast And Respect Boundaries
- Experiment deliberately by trying approaches briefly, reflecting, and dumping unhelpful data.
- Listen to your internal resistance and skip experiments that feel clearly wrong for you.
