Think in Moves, Not Projects

Day 9 of 30 · Done is better - Build What Matters

Replace "big delivery" with "next testable step."

Learning goal

Define a move: one testable step.
Choose the next move from the current state.
Avoid project theater: long plans with no small wins.

Why it matters

Big deliverables delay feedback.
Moves create momentum and learning.
Testable steps reduce risk.

Key idea

A move is a single, testable next step that advances toward an outcome. Replace big delivery with next testable step. No move = no progress.

Procedure

State the outcome you want.
What is the smallest step that could be done and verified today or this week?
Define done for that step (testable).
Do it; then decide the next step from evidence.

Common mistakes

Defining deliverables that are too big to test soon.
Confusing motion (lots of activity) with moves (testable steps).
No clear done for the current step.

Today's move

For your current goal, write the next move in one sentence. Make it testable: you can say "done" when X is true.

Self-check

You can explain the key idea in one sentence.
You have one concrete move to do today.
