Practice Small Experiments
Table of Contents
Repeat the move, run tiny tests, learn fast - durable change beats one big rollout.
Key Concept
Big-bang rollouts look decisive and usually snap back by March.
Practice small experiments means daily reps plus tests small enough to fail cheap - one drill, one workflow tweak, one week trial - then keep what works. Deliberate Practice is the rep lane; Minimum Effective Dose is the size cap; Failure as Feedback is how you read a miss without drama.
Repeat the move, run tiny tests, learn fast.
Durable change beats one big rollout.
Examples
- Instead of rebuilding the whole practice plan, we ran one new inbound play for two weeks - kept it when turnovers dropped, dropped it when they didn't.
- I didn't migrate every note to a new app - I tried one capture lane by the door for ten days and only expanded after it survived a busy week.
Note Relationships
| Relationship | Wikilink | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| contradicts | Staged Rollout | when a controlled rollout is the right size, not endless micro-trials |
| extends | Change Takes Repetition | Keep what works - repeat it until the system bends |
| extends | Deliberate Practice | Reps on the weak slice beat one inspirational speech |
| extends | Failure as Feedback | Small miss, small cost - read signal without identity drama |
| extends | Measure Then Iterate | Small trial plus a metric - keep or drop on signal |
| extends | Minimum Effective Dose | Smallest trial that still tells you something |
| extends | Habit Formation | Repeat the trial that survived the test |
| extends | Lean Startup | Smallest test before you scale the change |
