I like Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s writing on antifragility. 

In his Heuristics paper, he shares the general principle of antifragility: 

It is much better to do what you cannot explain, than explain what you cannot do.

Ah, snap.

Now, I do a lot of things; but these videos are little explainers, so I am a bit stuck. 

Forgive me if I share a bit on how I do…

• Read widely, follow links and nodal pathways.
• Consume content, then curate and synthesize.
• Challenge my own assumptions.
• Iterate over formal plans.
• Plan through small tests, under the radar.
• Fail Forward.
• Play the long game, but test every day.
• Push for more.
• Actively manage upwards.
• Stick to simple rules.
• Build in redundancy and layers so there is no single point of failure.
• Embrace serendipity
• etc. etc. etc.

Disorganizers are antifragile.
