Ditching my retro game budget limits led to a flea market fortune

Skipping my usual frugality, I grabbed an unmarked crate and discovered a complete in-box copy of Suikoden II, ever stumble upon a gem by breaking your own rules?

That "breaking your own rules" moment is pure CHANCE, not a repeatable tactic.

How many times have I tried that and failed?

Seriously, calling it pure chance misses how I've handled this. When my usual approach fails, I break one rule on purpose to test the outcome. I write down what I changed and what happened next, which shows me cause and effect. Doing this turns a random break into a strategy you can use again. It's all about tracking your moves to see what actually works. What method do you use when your plans stop working?
