Read an excerpt

A goal describes an outcome. A direction describes what makes that outcome worth pursuing. “Read more” might express curiosity, professional learning, pleasure, or a wish to spend less time in an unhelpful routine. Those different purposes suggest different actions.

• Measure attempts without turning the record into a verdict
• Restart by identifying what changed
• Review a month by outputs and tradeoffs
