Step 2 of 2 The number you got7 of 25 What do you decide? Keep goingChange courseDrop the idea

Why it helps

Decide the bar before you look

A bar set before the test cannot quietly move after it.

Not a test there are no right answers
Two parts before and after the test
Any result helps a missed bar is still a result

Filling it in

Two parts, before and after

Fill in the first part now and the second after the test.

Write the belief and the test

Say who will do what, and why.

Set the bar and a date

Decide what counts as success before you see the result.

Come back with the result

Add the number, choose a decision, then send.
