Your week

One tiny failure a day.

  1. 1

    Get refused

    Ask for something you'll probably be denied. The goal is the no, not the yes.

  2. 2

    Ship something imperfect

    Post, send, or publish one thing before it feels ready. Typos welcome.

  3. 3

    Be a beginner in public

    Do something you're bad at where someone can see you. Badly is the assignment.

  4. 4

    Tell the story

    Tell one person about a real failure of yours. Straight. No redemption arc required.

  5. 5
