Build Your Thinking Loop

You will design your own repeatable problem engine.

---

Learning goal

• Define your loop: understand, plan, move, test, reflect, adjust.
• Document it in a checklist or playbook.
• Use it on the next problem.

---

Why it matters

• Ad hoc problem-solving is inconsistent.
• A loop is repeatable and improvable.
• You leave with a system, not motivation.

---

Key idea

A thinking loop is a repeatable process: understand, plan, move, test, reflect, adjust. You design your own repeatable problem engine. Document it and use it on the next problem.

---

Common mistakes

• No written loop (only in your head).
• One-size-fits-all for every problem type.
• Never updating the loop after use.

---

Today's move

Write your loop in 6 steps or fewer. Run it on one small problem this week. Note one change to the loop after you use it.

Self-check

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