They must be able to quote the agile manifesto in the original Klingon.

“Preconditions for transformation” is where I’m taking this series of posts, along with some loose diagnostics.

Yes, I like this a lot. Norms define the Overton Window of what change is possible. Many transformation efforts don’t try to shift it first, or even look at it.

Echoes some of my recent writing on the cost of noticing first, change through progressive disclosure, boundaries, restraint and most importantly, self regulation to manage anxiety, impulsivity and accept what can be done now and what can't.
And of course, Boromir did not regulate.

And if something must be done, then it’s better to do a little at a time and then walk away.

Which is where restraint and moderation are important, and require regulation.

But it’s hard not to stop yourself when you’re wired and conditioned to notice gaps and compelled to fix.

Because I never want to slip back into or enable this.
