Choose the first task on frequency and reversibility

ProblemPeople hand the agent the quarterly report because the payoff feels bigger, then cannot tell competence from luck.

TechniquePick a task that happens daily or weekly, can be checked in 30 seconds, costs nothing when wrong, is seen by nobody outside, and that you already do badly. Avoid monthly work, hour-long verification, money, contracts and anything a client receives.

Why it worksFrequency gives you signal and reversibility gives you room to be wrong.

When to useThe first week.
