Regress to Progress A Child's Mindset for Growth
summary
Asserts that brief, scheduled play resets problem‑solving (naps, walks, sudoku) and that rubber duck debugging and talking problems aloud reveal new angles; recommends weekly play blocks (Saturday night escape rooms) and breaking big tasks into tiny steps to relearn skills like riding a bike. Gives actionable gamification: copy Salesforce badges and run a month of gamified bug‑killing with gift cards, and spot opportunities where customers already use CockroachDB for games to build playful demos.
