Very cool! I wonder if something like this could be added to a standard productivity/todo tool (thinking of Complice here).
I think the step “how can you prevent this from happening” should perhaps add something like “or how can you work around this” instead—perhaps you cannot prevent the problem directly, but can come up with alternate routes to success.
I found it surprising that the script ended after a “yes” to “Are you surprised?”. Mere surprise seems like too low a bar. I expected the next question to be “Are you so surprised that it doesn’t seem worth planning for this eventuality?”.
Also, I accidentally typed “done.” rather than “done”, and it was entered as a step in the plan. I think it would be good if variations like that were treated as the same. And, it would be nice to be able to go back one step rather than resetting entirely.
Hello, thanks for the feedback!
I’ll likely go and change parts of the script this weekend, as well as adding an undo button and something of the sort. I agree that the ending prompt of mere surprise isn’t good enough or well-defined to let people understand that it’s the end of the process. Also, fixing the “done” thing would be good (so it’s also an acceptable answer).
