How to start 2022 well?
22 (BIG) little experiments to consider
My last post for 2021. On this last day of 2021.
What a year it has been.
Over the past weeks, I’ve reflected enough, so it’s time to look forward now.
Tomorrow we’ll start 2022 together, and as always, there is a lot to look forward to, and there are also lots of reasons to be optimistic.
To start with the C-word. We’re resilient people. We will figure this out. Yes, it takes much more than expected, but in the end, we, human beings, will come out on top.
Recently, I spoke about the need for inspiring consistency and a little chaos.
We need consistency to execute our plans successfully and do things right.
We also need to make sure that we do the right things.
Doing the right things requires disruption, challenge, and creativity.
We can’t judge whether we are still on the right path if we never look around and consider different paths.
We need a little chaos to get to the right things.
You can exercise the same muscle repeatedly, and technically you do it all right. But, you need to confuse muscles to grow them.
The same holds for business.
Like our muscles, we need change.
A little confusion causing disruption, challenge, and creativity can go a long way. That’s what I mean with a little chaos.
Therefore, on this last day of 2021, I’m advocating for more experimentation in 2022.
Disrupt your routines, challenge your thinking, stimulate creativity, and confuse your brain.
Here are 22 little experiments for 2022 to consider (my good friend Blake Wittman helped me brainstorm them).
You can do them all, or you can just pick one. As long as you commit, do it, and learn.
The purpose is to create new learning and potentially a new habit.
Here’s the list.
- Ask every day how someone’s day was (Inclusion).
- Write three ideas down every day (Creativity).
- Practice three…
