How add randomness?

What have I done?!• Gamification: Roll for Bernstein !

• Commitment !

• Durkheimian network theory: include a core social group !

• Cognitive dissonance: be a grouch or teach myself to re-frame randomness.

What I LearnedPlanning is important…but a calendar is a means, not an end

…I need more practice designing experiments and testing assumptions…

Randomness is not spontaneity is not variability

Frustration is a choice. Choose not to be.

Interruptions are only interruptions if you say they are

My thanks to the friends whose opened my perspective and enabled me to conduct this experiment
