One a week
Practices
The practice from each framework, in one place. Each is small enough to run this week, and each ends with something written down.
This week, get one honest look at how someone effective actually works with these tools. Their real process, not their demo. Write down the one difference from your own loop that surprised you, in a sentence you could say out loud to them without embarrassment.
Sort last week's work into the three kinds. Then list everything you approved and mark what you actually reviewed. Do not fix anything yet. The list is the finding.
Find one handoff you made this month and put the missing note where the work lives. One sentence about your system's specifics that the standard pattern does not know.
Take your last incident. Write down the one thing you knew that was in no system. Then decide where it would have had to live for someone else to find it that day, and put it there.
This week, in a loop or a one-on-one, notice the moment where the answer you are hearing is about the system rather than the person. Do not draw a conclusion from it. Just notice that it happened, and how you felt about it.
Find one thing you own where the reason lives only in your head. Write the reason down where the work happens, with the date and your name. One a week is a compounding schedule.
The next time someone junior brings you finished work to sign, do not start with your answer. Ask for one real case, and sit with them while they find it. Notice how long it takes, and how much you want to take the keyboard.
Take one item you are about to delegate, or have been refusing to delegate. Write the two answers down, not as a note to yourself but as two sentences someone else could read. Then write the rung the answers actually justify. If it is higher than where you have been running the work, you have just written your own next task, and it is not the work itself.
Write down three decisions from the past year that never shipped as a feature. What you chose, and what it cost. Then put one of them where someone who was not in the room can find it.
10The Three Traps and the Decision Entry
Take the next real decision in front of you, however small, and write the four lines before you answer. Put a date on the fourth one. Then answer.
