Just Do It: How Tracking Your Actions Reveals Hidden Patterns 📊
Ever think you're being bold, but your data says otherwise? That's what JFDI tracking reveals.
The process is simple:
- Pick 3 actions each week
- Write down what you predict will happen
- Record what actually happens
The surprising findings:
- Almost all predictions were positive - but most outcomes were neutral
- 38 safe side projects vs only 5 mission-related actions
That gap between expectation and reality? That's where the real learning happens.
The goal: Start with 3 actions, then double - 6, 12, 24, 48, up to 96 - pushing yourself toward work that truly matters.
