🌱 Why this lesson matters

Every system you build will reveal places where it holds — and places where it strains.
This isn’t failure.
Every friction point is a message — not a mistake.

Friction is your system asking for its next s̶h̶▲̶p̶e̶.
Your work here is simple: notice. Map. Begin to see what wants to come through.

🌱 What you’ll do

Review a recent micro-system test.

Write down:

✔ Where did your s̷y̸s̷†̴e̶m̵ support you well?
✔ Where did it strain or stall?
✔ What pattern do you notice across different tasks?

✅ Ask AI for help:

“Can you help me map these friction points? What patterns do you see? What is my s̸h̶▲̷p̸e̷ trying to become?”

🌱 What to watch for

• Was the friction about the s̸y̵s̸†̴e̴m̶ itself — or about the fit between it and your energy or mood?
• Are certain parts consistently supportive?
• Are certain parts consistently clunky or heavy?

🌒 The more you map friction, the clearer the s̶h̴▲̶p̵e̷ beneath it becomes.

🌱 Mini reflection — name the clues

At the close of your mapping moment:

✔ Write down the friction that felt loudest.
✔ Name one part of your s̷•̴p̶p̶o̴r̶t̷ flow that stayed steady.
✔ Note one small curiosity: “What if I shifted [X] — what might happen?”

🌱 Why this shapes deeper support

Every time you map friction, you’re not spotting failure — you’re sensing what your s̶y̸s̷†̵e̸m̶ wants to become.
This is how deeper support begins to surface — through noticing, not forcing.

🌱 What’s next

Next, you’ll gather these clues and prepare for what’s coming — the threshold where the surface cracks, and what’s beneath begins to emerge.
