I used to be an all-or-nothing gal. Either I was going all in, or I wasn’t touching it at all.

Then I read a book called Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff — a huge shout out to Kelsea Warren for putting it on my radar. That book completely changed how I think about change.

The Power of a PACT

The big idea is to make a PACT with yourself, something Purposeful, Actionable, Continuous, and Trackable.

Not a grand life overhaul. Just a small, intentional promise.

At the time, I was trying (and failing) to build a creative habit. So I made a PACT: 100 days of bad art.

“Bad” didn’t mean ugly, it meant low stakes. No pressure to make a masterpiece. Just show up.

Staying Curious About the Process

Some days I was excited. Some days it was a chore. Some days I forgot entirely.
But the goal wasn’t the art itself, it was to stay curious about the process.

What lit me up?
What drained me?
What happened when I took the pressure off?

Here’s the funny part: that tiny experiment started leaking into the rest of my life.
Workouts. Routines. Even when I stretched (turns out, the bathroom is a surprisingly good spot).

Instead of thinking, If I can’t do it perfectly, why bother, I started asking, What small test could I run here?

That shift — from perfection to curiosity — felt like a complete rewiring.
It’s amazing what happens when you stop trying to solve the whole puzzle and just start with one piece.

From Creating to Leading

That “100 days of bad art” experiment didn’t just change how I create, it changed how I lead.

At work, we often chase big, perfect plans. But progress usually comes from small, low-risk tests: one curious question, one new approach, one change in routine.

Tiny experiments don’t just move projects forward, they build learning cultures.

So here’s a test worth running:

What’s one small, curious experiment you could try this week?
