The Right Amount
the fine line between reflection and overthinking
Reflection is good for learning when something didn’t go to plan.
The questions we ask are really important. The amount we ask matters more.
Experiences and curiosity can help guide. The urge to understand everything can take over.
Time passing from the misstep allows the honest answers to the questions.
Five why’s get towards a root cause. Any more we start to go in circles.
Three what ifs give insight. Any more we drift away from the current issue.
One how to not repeat can discover that first step forward. Any more we take on too much new information.
The knowledge has now been extracted and time to move forward
