I've noticed some potential improvements that can be made to the experiments to give you a better change of implementing them successfully. As such, I've created a more in depth guide to creating good experiments with examples. https://docs.google.com/document/d/12tMjZLMZvYxLqQsePvgEPf0OPAaInTiDs2EDggoCpW4/edit?usp=sharing Have a read, let me know if this helps or if there are any questions, and follow these steps in your next daily check-in

Hey guys, one thing I'm super wary of is not overcomplicating the coaching process. I want to make it as simple as possible to make this an easy process for each and every one of you, whilst ensuring we continue to maximise results. I've come up with a 3 stage process to coaching which I think will help whilst giving you all clarity on what you should be doing: The approach to coaching is similar to the way a doctor operates. You (the patient) bring me a list of problems / symptoms, and it is my job to ask questions to collect the information that I need to make a diagnosis about what the underlying problem is. We then work together to come up with a strategy to address the underlying problem. Over the coming days and weeks, we continue to tweak the strategy according to any issues that come up until it is right. We then stick with the strategy until it feels automatic, at which point we can move onto the next problem. In practice, this looks like: Stage 1: Diagnose 1. Conversation about the biggest issues you are currently facing, and what is causing them, ultimately leading to the first version of a strategy to fix the problem Stage 2: Iterate 1. Create an “Experiment” which is your action plan to implement the strategy, and a “Prediction” which is what you expect will happen as a result of your “Experiment" - This will make up the “Tomorrow” section of your Daily Check-In - For example: Experiment: I will install an app blocker to block instagram at 9pm Prediction: I think this will help me get into bed and go to sleep earlier 2. Note the “Result” of your experiment, “Compare” the result against the prediction, and create a “Hypothesis” of why you think the result matched/did not match the prediction. - This will make up the “Today” section of your Daily Check-In - For example: Result: I ended up watching Youtube on my laptop Comparison: This did not match my prediction as I still went to bed at 11pm Hypothesis: I can still easily consume media on devices other than my phone

Few problems I've identified over the past week 1. communication can get a little complicated with messages being spread over different daily posts 2. path to success is not quite clear enough here are the solutions that will be trialled 1. all dialogue will be placed in the weekly plan. So the way this will look is that the daily check ins are still to be used in just the same way, but when I comment on what has been said, ask questions or anything else, i will be posting those in the weekly plan. this way there will be 1 continuous stream of dialogue thruoghout the entire week. 2. The focus is going to very much remain on 1-2 improvements at a time to make progress easy, but I want to give every student more of a roadmap with the next 4 things that we will be working on to take them from their current situation to the next level. once the 4 things have been implemented we will reassess the situation with a learning audit and identify the next changes that need to be made, and repeat Finally, there are two newish videos in the Classroom that I think would be really valuable to anyone who hasn't watched them 1. "Becoming an academic weapon in a week" - gives you an overview of how to beat nearly everyone with a system comprised of just the absolute bare necessities https://www.skool.com/bloom-learning-3643/classroom/796edad6?md=d999afe83f1f448088b2d70601d7f4bd 2. "Habit Building" - gives the rationale behind how I am approaching coaching in terms of the 1 at a time approach https://www.skool.com/bloom-learning-3643/classroom/796edad6?md=6fc0f2aae33f4d6b8e7b85218c9d34fb btw, been having issues with some of the new modules so I've reuploaded the old modules until everything is sorted.will hopefully be fixed early this week Any questions or suggestions regarding the new changes, pls let me know in the comments!

Hey guys, want to get into the habit of asking you guys what you would like to see more of in the community. Would love your input around what you would find useful to have. Don't worry about any silly suggestions, the best possible think right now is for me to get a better understanding of what you guys would benefit from so I can start shaping resources around that

hey guys, just wanted to update you on my situation atm with building Bloom. As you are probably aware, there haven't been many new additions to Bloom over the past few weeks and we are in more of a 'maintenance' mode. This is because I have been building out the next level of coaching. As you are aware my vision is to build Bloom into a massive community with thousands of students collaborating to achieve excellence. However as we continue to grow and new students join my focus would gradually be stretched. As a result, I will soon be focusing my attention to a more select number of individualised coaching spots so we can get additional coaches involved who specialise in different domains to provide the best possible quality of coaching. In my pursuit to ensure I don't contribute to the global trend of inequity in education, I will ensure that no matter what, all educational materials and modules will be available to all, as will the community features of Bloom so you can continue to interact and grow together. (I also have some ideas about how to provide an even higher level of access to some of the most dedicated students inside Bloom who are unable to invest in the premium coaching packages that I am super excited about but don't want to talk too much about just yet). I don't have a concrete date on when this new program will launch because I want to make sure I only launch when it is absolutely and completely ready, but in order to stress-test the system, I will be opening up a pilot program for up to 5 students who have already proven themselves to be dedicated learners in the early days of Bloom. This will be a completely free program lasting several weeks and will be a fantastic opportunity to receive dedicated coaching and direction from myself (comment "Interested" if you would like to put your name forward for consideration in this pilot program). Super excited for the future of Bloom and I'm looking forward to having you guys with me every step of the way 💪
