I like this. Just like lean product development. Iterative work is key to ensure you don't waste time and money in developing a product. It's also a great way to move forward with confidence.
Having worked in user experience for many years as a consultant, your design thinking series resonated. You've effectively applied it to various aspects of productivity. Well done and thank you!
Good question. If you think about the process of packing, it starts with making a list, then sorting out clothes, then deciding what to take, then packing it all in one place. Using iteration in this example could be that you block out 30 mins each day for a week, to get as far along the process as you can, each day picking up where you left off the day before.
You may have already created a list of items to take, and started packing, but then a couple of days later you think of something you’d missed and added it to the list.
Doing packing this way will undoubtedly uncover some things you don’t have, giving you a chance to buy them in good time, rather than at the airport! Usually it’s plug adapters and Suncream for me 🤦🏽♀️.

That's exactly right, Selda. And the best bit is that it can be applied to most things in life. Thank you for reading and engaging!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind comments.
Thanks Vladica! I’m glad I’m not the only one.
