Daniel Pink breaks down a 90-day experiment to fix something in your life. Pick a problem, write a hypothesis about what might help, track it daily in a notebook for 30 days, then repeat in two other areas. You get data on what actually works for you.
The smartest people don't guess, they test. I'm going to teach you the 3-step framework scientists use to solve any problem: identify the issue, create a hypothesis, and test it. And I'll show you how to run a 90-day experiment to improve your willpower, productivity, and even your relationships. Step 1: Identify the problem. Maybe you're struggling to stick to a new habit or create a new exercise regime. Step 2: Create a hypothesis. Ask yourself, what's one change that might solve this problem? Step 3: Test the hypothesis. And report. You track your results, see what worked, what didn't, and you adjust as necessary. Now let's take this framework and apply it to your life for the next 90 days. Step 1, get a notebook. This will be your lab journal to track your goals, observations, and adjustments. Step 2, identify what you want to improve. Be specific. Step 3, form your hypothesis. Write down your best guess what you think is going to happen. Step 4, Test and track. Track your results daily. Remember, the goal here isn't perfection, it's progress. Pick your shots. For the first 30 days, focus on one area of your life. Make your hypothesis, follow what's going on. At the end of the month, see how you've done. Month 2, the next 30 days, pick another area of your life. Month 3, another area of your life. Do the same thing. At the end of these 90 days, you'll have conducted 3 powerful experiments in 3 different areas of your life that are gonna yield better ways to get stuff done and feel a lot better.
