What went well?

Getting better at being disciplined around organising my work.

Really good discovery call with a team working on a programme.

Did a little bit of work on my talk.

Learned a bit about Zettelkasten and note-taking.

What didn’t go so well?

Trying to answer big, broad, out-of-context questions.

Torn between a solution I think will work better and a more established, accepted solution.

What could I do differently in the future?

Aim for adaptability by preparing for more options.

Upstream solutions

The farther upstream we solve problems the greater impact those solutions have but the more unknown it is because the issues never occur.

Leverage

Does our understanding of leverage suggest that in order to get more you need to get farther away from the problem?

Gatekeepers

Tasking uninformed people never gets the same quality of work as informed people taking tasks for themselves.

This obesity systems map (causal loop diagram) is really quite an impressive piece of research. If you’ve ever been in doubt about the interrelated complexities of a common health or social issue, this is a great example!
