A recipe for powerful growth: action and reflection.

  • A recipe for powerful growth: action and reflection.
    • Action is how you get the situated, in-the-loop knowhow.
      • Muscle memory, training your intuition.
    • Reflection is how you lever your intuition.
      • Take the time to unpack and reflect what you learned so you can apply it more directly next time.
    • You need both.
    • I've found I need roughly 4:1 action:reflection by minute.
    • My Bits and Bobs process is my weekly reflection, and I couldn't live without it.
    • The tech industry today often does all action, no reflection.
    • Academia does all reflection, no action.
    • You need both, in balance.
