Growth Over Results: At the start of a project, set an intention to prioritise learning over immediate outcomes. Shifting your mindset this way encourages resilience.
Document the Process: Regular documentation while learning helps capture insights and can reveal patterns and lessons to use in future projects.
Using Failures Productively: If you experience setbacks, turn these into actionable insights for your next project. This cycle of reflection leads to continual improvement.
Managing Frustration: Breaks and small mental distances from a problem give you space for objectivity, allowing you to approach challenges with a refreshed perspective.
Learning Activity:
Identify a recent setback or challenge. Document what went wrong and brainstorm changes for your approach next time. Try applying a “growth mindset” by reframing this as a learning opportunity rather than a failure.
