Life Experiments

Intro

The best way to learn what works for your life is to run small, low-risk experiments. Instead of overthinking and predicting every detail, try small things, notice what happens, and adjust. This approach, by choosing curiosity over attachment to outcomes, accelerates learning, reduces stress, and grows adaptability.

In this tool, you will learn how to turn open questions you have into life experiments, structure them as a pact, and plan a quick review. Start smaller than you think and let the learning guide you.

Instructions

1. What open questions are alive for you right now?List 5–10 using “How might I…?” across any areas of your life, such as work, relationships, creativity, and impact. Examples: How might I find energizing work? How might I feel stronger this month?
2. Pick one question. What small experiments could you try now?Brainstorm 5 tests you can do once or over a short period of time. Aim for variety, such as talk to one person, try it once for 20 min, make one sample version, visit a place, etc.
3. Choose one experiment and write your pact.Use the following structure: “I will [specific action] for [time frame].” Examples: I will write for 10 minutes daily for 14 days, or I will talk to 3 entrepreneurs that inspire me this week.
4. What insights will you look for after, to design what’s next?Choose at least 2 insights you will look out for, such as your energy from 1–10, enjoyment, measurable result, etc.
