Test Drive New Ideas with Micro Experiments - 0 views

    "Test Drive New Ideas with Micro Experiments Matthew Cornell Experiments don't have to be grand to be useful-in fact, tracking small things with short turnaround times can be extremely useful.

The time and cost investments are low, and you might find a few tools and habits to keep around longterm. As I work to adopt an experimental mindset about life, I've noticed that efforts can vary in scope, duration, and complexity.
