Great way to find
A goal, a path, and more
Is
"How".
How can I...
How can we...
How did they...
How come no one's done X?
Open question
Open mind
Maybe
3 main outcomes:
1)
There really is a limiting answer
E.g. an undertaking could lead to
Something harmful or
There's some other good reason
Not to do something (a certain way?)
Maybe it's not worth it then
For now
2)
A immediate, clear idea
A spark
Let's go out, give it a go, play
Based on what we find, iterate
3)
New ways of trying things.
Aka "innovation"?
Once we have a good "how" question
Capture all possible how's (and limitations)
That come to mind
And then see...
In my case
I was wondering how it's possible
that I keep practicing tennis more
but seem to become worse over time
At least
not improving as much
as I would elsewhere
How is that possible?
How can I do something about it?
How can I practice differently
To actually improve?
How can I then see what's working?
Amongst other triggers
This thinking
Led me to
This project
Developing
And comparing
The other side
Of the body
More time on the wall
Focused on specific aspects
Shadow swings
What are some of the top coaches doing
Playing and practicing more
Adjacent racquet sports
Trying something completely different
Inspiration from other fields
These could be some ideas
Resulting from
A"how" storm
To assess, trim, prioritize
For the deeper thinking parts
Let's remember the
"3rd 3rd"
To not give up (too) early...
