⚡ Bias-to-Action Sprint | Study Template

for the one who keeps thinking about a life instead of trying one on

Goal

Pick the smallest real-world version of a life you're imagining and run it within an hour.

You can't think your way into a life; build forward through small real-world tries. : from Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans.

🗣️
0:00-0:05
Name the life you've been overthinking. One sentence.
🔬
0:05-0:10
Pick the smallest real-world version of it. Tiny. Today-sized.
⏲️
0:10-0:15
Set a 60-min timer. No research allowed. Just doing.
✍️
0:15-0:20
Write the first 5-min move. The literal first physical action.
🚀
0:20-1:20
Run that version. Build, call, show up, whatever 'doing' means here.
📓
1:20-1:25
Log what surprised you. Especially what was different from imagined.
🤔
1:25-1:28
Decide: keep, drop, or iterate. One word.
📅
1:28-1:30
Schedule the next slightly bigger version. Calendar it.

One real-world data point. That's the prize.
