PINNED POST: Week 2: Design Your Micro-Experiment (Identity & Direction)
A micro-experiment is:
- Small
- Time-bound
- Low risk
- Designed to answer one question
Not:
- A life overhaul
- A permanent decision
- A full rebrand
Your micro-experiment includes:
- Three specific actions
- A clear end date
- How you will evaluate it
Strong Micro-Experiment Examples
1️⃣Example 1
Question: What would happen if I introduced myself based on who I am now?
Experiment:
- Write one new self-description sentence
- Use it in 5 conversations
- Notice how it feels and how others respond
How she evaluates: Did I feel more aligned? Did I hesitate? Did conversations shift?
2️⃣Example 2
Question: What would happen if I acted like someone who takes her interests seriously?
Experiment:
- Block two 45-minute sessions per week for that interest
- Tell one person I am prioritizing it
- Complete one small output (draft, prototype, outline)
How she evaluates: Did I protect the time? Did I resent it? Did I want to continue?
3️⃣Example 3
Question: What would happen if I stopped saying “I’m just…” before describing myself?
Experiment:
- Catch and correct the phrase every time it comes out
- Keep a tally for 14 days
- Replace it with a direct statement instead
Evaluates: Did I feel awkward? Stronger? More exposed? More confident?
4️⃣Example 4
Question: “What would happen if I acted like a writer?”
Experiment:
- Write 3 short pieces
- Share one publicly or with 3 people
- Track energy and resistance
Evaluate: How did writing 3 short pieces feel? Did getting feedback feel scary?
💻Optional AI Help
