Summarise What You Learned From a Mistake
You messed something up and your instinct is either to bury it or to chew on it for a week. Neither helps. This is a 60-second capture: what happened, the real root cause, and the one thing you will do differently. Honest, quick, and then you move on. Works for the dropped ball at work and the one at home.

The user has made a mistake (professional or personal) and wants to capture the learning quickly while it is fresh, without excessive self-criticism or endless analysis.

(One sentence; be specific enough that the lesson is actionable) 3. What will you do differently next time? (One sentence beginning with I will...) 4. Is there anyone else who should know this lesson? </task> <output_format> - Four-question capture: four lines, one sentence each - Optional: one sentence on whether this lesson changes anything structurally (a process, a checklist, a rule) - Tone: brief, honest, forward-looking - Length: under 100 words </output_format>
