For this experiment, refuse to improvise. Do everything by the book. Do not deviate. Follow the rules, even if you do not like them. Flagellate yourself with a wet noodle every time you don't follow the rule. Do this for whole 3 days.

If someone asks you a question and you are not 100% sure to be able to prove your answer with facts and online references, then do not answer. Just go blank. Or, for example, if someone asks you "how are you?" tell them "I can't answer this question", because you cannot be factual about something so subjective.

When you are cooking and you have the option to spice your food up differently, do not. When you open up your computer, open up your email up first like you always do. Do not ask yourself if you want to do anything else first.

Do this experiment for exactly 72 hours, no more, no less.

Do this at your online or offline Possibility Team. Get in groups of 3. One person is the Spaceholder, another is the Problem-generator, the other is Improvisor.

The Problem-generator creates a problem, and the Improvisor needs to solve that problem using anything they can use at their arms reach, without moving out of their seat. For example, one problem could be "Make a fishing line". The Improvisor could grab their headphone cable and twist it into a fishing net and explain how they would make the fishing line.

The Spaceholder gives feedback, tells the Improvisor when they are cheating, when they have used that solution before, and coaches the Improvisor to get unstuck.

The Problem-generator gives the Improvisor problems for 10-15 minutes and then the whole team changes roles.

Get in groups of 3. One person is the Spaceholder. Two people are improvising a conversation here. The first Improvisor starts by making an open offer to the second Improvisor, for example: "Do you want to go and grill aubergines in the garden waving little pink flags?"
Both Improvisor's job is to keep creating something they are really interested in, and start each sentence with "yes and". The conversation goes back and forth between the two Improvisors, each making the conversation more interesting, more incredible, more outrageous, more impossible, more transformational. Each conversation goes on for 10 minutes. Then rotate. The Spaceholder coaches the Improvisors to be interested rather than interesting.

Next, improvise a conversation in which one Improvisor brings bad news or attacks the other Improvisor and generally has a non-collaborative attitude. The other Improvisor improvises ways to be a "yes and" to whatever the Improvisor says, always finding a Possibility to make it work without saying No or negating what the Improvisor is proposing.
