Three moves before next week

Name the friction. Invite a partner. Make one artefact.

Inspiration is lovely, but it fades by Tuesday. So here are three small moves, built to survive a busy week.

1. Name the friction

Say it in one sentence.

• People cannot...
• We lose time when...

If you can name it, you can begin to move it.

2. Invite a partner

Bring someone in with a clearly bounded task. It could be a colleague, a customer, a community member, a developer, a designer, or an AI partner.

Flow is a team sport, and the invitation itself is a brave act.

3. Make one artefact

Something visible enough that another person can respond to it:

• a journey map
• a checklist
• a mock-up
• a draft policy
• a set of test questions
• a small prototype

It does not have to be good. It has to be real.

Your turn

Take a moment, in silence, and finish these two sentences. Write them down somewhere you will see them.

The friction I want to reduce is...

The first artefact I could make is...

That is your next step. The rest is feedback.
