Yes, this really works.
Sort of the way some teams seem to keep a set of blog posts on the shelf, ready to go, we have a list of small tangential projects.
These are all three-days-to-a-week type things where we are already pretty familiar with 80-90% such that we can move through it quickly, but also get exposure to something new that we've been meaning to pick up. That combination of quick tangible progress plus learning really clears out any negativity.
