He has an interest in video production and filmmaking for a living some day so instead of wondering about what university to go to or classes to take, we&#8217;ve been hitting the pavement and developing videos for local companies. It&#8217;s been a fun experience, and today was no exception.<\/p>\n<p>As we drove away from today&#8217;s shoot, I asked him, &#8220;So, what went well? What should we do differently next time?&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>The truth is, today&#8217;s shoot went great! The equipment checklist that he has been working on helped make sure we didn&#8217;t leave anything signficantly important at home. And the list of questions were very helpful for the interviews with customers. But we did come across a couple ideas on what to do differently. For example, we were once again reminded that an extra extension cord would have been helpful. It&#8217;s now on his equipment list.<\/p>\n<p>Asking these questions reminded me of one of my favorite HBR bloggers: <a href=\"http:\/\/hbr.org\/search\/Peter%20Bregman\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Bregman<\/a>. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.hbr.org\/bregman\/2011\/01\/the-best-way-to-use-the-last-f.html\" target=\"_blank\">In this article<\/a> he expands on the value of asking questions like these at the end of the day. We think of post-mortems or lessons learned for projects. But why not after a meeting? Or as we wind down a day at work?<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the article.
