One idea to consider for the future: Select a Dragon whose primary responsibility (even at the expense of other house commitments) is to serve as the house Tracker. They would be responsible for keeping track of all ongoing experiments, gathering data, analyzing it, and recommending areas for improvement (as measured against prior commitments)… but leaving the actual strategy for improvement up to the Commander.
Their primary purpose would be to make the house more self-reflective, by consistently drawing attention to what is and isn’t working. They could also check in regularly with other Dragons on the status of their individual goals, both to provide accountability and to incorporate data from those check-ins into their overall tracking.
I think the roles of Tracker and Commander are too much for one person to handle alone.
For me, thinking hard literally depletes glucose.
I can tell when my blood sugar drops because I get lightheaded and can’t think as clearly. I’ve confirmed that such a feeling corresponds to blood sugar levels using a glucometer, and I feel that way at more frequent intervals (and thus require more snacking) when I’m thinking hard.
