Write one lesson from a recent mistake

Note what went wrong, why, and what you will do differently.

Why it helps

Mistakes are only useful if you extract something from them. A short written lesson makes it likelier you act on it.

How to do it

1. Choose a recent mistake, small or large.
2. Write what happened without blaming yourself.
3. Write one change you will make next time.

Make it easier

Say the lesson aloud.

Make it harder

Review old lessons and see what repeats.
