Keep the failures
What’s more important, validation or invalidation when testing a hypothesis?
Arguably, invalidation is more important
Repeating mistakes is stupid
Failure to document what has been tried and failed is a tragedy to the body of knowledge.
Digital RecordsPay Attention to YOU
- Record – Keep it clean and be religious about it
- Review –Remind yourself what you did the last few days.
- Instruct – Document instructions given and received. Share docs.
- Counsel – Let your subordinates and others know how to behave.
- Think! – Stop for a moment and think about where you’ve been and
where you are headed
- Double Check – Lit search is not a one-stop shopping spree
- Heal – Shore up adversarial relationships
