Here’s what I would do if I did this project now:
- Brainstorm a list of projects to do
- Don’t be too critical of quality of the ideas, just do many
- The proposed projects can be harder than learning to play the piano
- They can be really simple projects, like: Press a button on my keyboard
- Come up with a reason that each project idea is too difficult, for the projects I think would be too difficult
- If this limits how many ideas I would brainstorm because more ideas would mean more ideas I’d have to go through and judge, then I wouldn’t oblige myself to give a reason for every idea. I think it’s better to have more ideas than judge every idea
- Try to come up with an idea to make each of the brainstormed projects easier. For example instead of starting to learn the piano, just learn what each note is called (I don’t know how easy that is, there may be many notes)
- Try to think of what an exploration project would be for each idea
This isn’t what I did when trying to find mini projects to do, but I think it would have been good to do.
