Key idea
A feedback loop is getting real-world signal quickly to adjust the next move. Reality is your best mentor. Shorten the time between action and signal.
Common mistakes
- Waiting too long before checking reality.
- Ignoring feedback that contradicts the plan.
- Measuring only what confirms the plan.
Today's move
For one active initiative, define the next feedback moment: when and how you will get signal. Move it earlier if possible.
Self-check
- You can explain the key idea in one sentence.
- You have one concrete move to do today.
