[Weekly Retro] How to take care of early ideas?
#178 - Aug.2024 [merging sequence with general posts]
Happy Friday!
💡 Here is a quick idea before you head off to the weekend:
Ideas are like seeds. If we don’t care for them, they die. Caring means:
- Avoid too many early constraints that prevent them from fully developing their potential.
- Turn them into something concrete. Write them down, socialize them, and build an experiment. Most ideas die in the world of abstraction.
- Look for data. Think about what is the easiest and faster way to test them.
Sure, many ideas won't fly. But we often give up too early on high-potential ideas without validating them first.
