What is iterative improvement?

Iterative improvement is a concept in personal epistemology: After each execution look for one thing to improve in the workflow.

Example: You write a weekly status report every Friday. It takes 45 minutes. After this week's execution, you notice that 15 of those minutes go to hunting down project links scattered across Slack, email, and your task board. One change: you create a running doc where you drop links throughout the week. Next Friday the report takes 30 minutes. You didn't redesign the workflow. You changed one thing, measured the result, and kept going.

This concept is part of Phase 41 (Workflow Design) in the How to Think curriculum, which builds the epistemic infrastructure for workflow design.
