One of the reasons I love the idea of experimentation is that it removes so much of the pressure we place on ourselves.
I see this often with women who have ADHD +1. We want certainty before we begin. We want to know if the strategy will work, if the project will be successful, or if the change we're considering will be worth the effort.
The problem is that certainty usually comes after action, not before it.
That's why I wrote Shake Up Your Life around the idea of tiny experiments. An experiment doesn't require a lifetime commitment. It doesn't require confidence. It doesn't even require you to believe it will work.
It simply asks you to be curious.
What happens if I try this?
What do I notice?
What do I learn?
Maybe the experiment works beautifully. Maybe it doesn't. Either way, you've gained information that can help you make your next decision.
So if you've been sitting on an idea because you aren't sure it's the "right" one, consider this your reminder: you don't need certainty to begin. You only need enough curiosity to try.
