What mistake taught you the most about learning?

A useful way to think about it is mechanism first: what changes, what stays constant, and what evidence would distinguish the two. The trap is trying to optimize before you have feedback.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Hope this helps!

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The social part surprised me too.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. The 10-minute rule is underrated.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I would love to see a follow-up after 5 weeks.
