Plan and execute a 30-minute exploratory session:

1. Choose a web application you use regularly (your email client, a social media site, a shopping site)
2. Write a charter: "Explore [specific feature] with [specific approach] to discover [specific type of issue]"
3. Set a timer for 30 minutes
4. Take notes every 2-3 minutes: what you tried, what you observed, what questions arose
5. When the timer ends, stop and review your notes
6. Write a brief summary: bugs found, areas of concern, recommended next charters
