for the one who ran a prototype and immediately forgot what it taught them
Goal
Debrief one run prototype in 90 minutes and design the next, slightly bigger version.
Source principle
Log energy, engagement, and flow daily to learn what actually works for you. : from Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans.
The plan
- 📓0:00-0:10Open last run prototype's raw log. Energy / engagement / flow.
- 🔖0:10-0:25Mark the peak moment. The single minute that felt most alive.
- 🔻0:25-0:40Mark the drain moment. The single minute that flatlined.
- ✍️0:40-0:55Write one pattern across the peak. One sentence.
- 💡0:55-1:05Name one question the prototype raised. Just one.
- 🔬1:05-1:20Design the next prototype to answer that question. Slightly bigger.
- 📅1:20-1:25Calendar it. Real date, real time.
- 📢1:25-1:30Say the next prototype's name aloud. Close.
