This page is the entry point to a process for meeting any challenge. It's intended to be a step by step guide that takes a few seconds to work through the first time, but can grow as necessary. Each step is a link to more information.
- (Describe) Write down a brief description of challenge (e.g., the front door is sticking)
- (Deconstruct) Write down a few possible steps in meeting this challenge (e.g., ask google how to fix a sticky door latch, ask Joe...)
- (Plan) Choose 1 or 2 steps to do next (e.g., check with google first)
- (Act) Start working on the steps
- (Measure) Track progress towards completion (e.g., check off steps as completed)
- (Celebrate) Enjoy progress (e.g., reward yourself with a break and a smoothy)
- (Review) Review challenge periodically (e.g., still sticking; perhaps I need a new door)
- (Revise) Revise challenge as necessary (e.g., add step to see what a new door would cost installed)
