Change Wired A 3-question filter for your bad ideas. How smart people fool themselves every day.
Your sharpest ideas can still fool you into doing the wrong thing.
Today we unpack why smart, driven people overtrust their thoughts, and how a simple 3-question filter turns hunches into high-quality decisions. Instead of chasing certainty, we practice decision hygiene: use evidence, test small, and weigh real outcomes before you go all in.
We start with the cognitive traps that quietly steer choices: availability bias makes vivid stories feel true, while the halo effect lets first impressions spill into misplaced trust. From there, we shift to practical tools you can use today.
You’ll walk away with a compact framework you can apply to health goals, career pivots, and strategy shifts: evidence → experiment → evaluation → expanded outcomes.
If you’re ready to swap guesswork for smart iteration, hit play, save the three questions, and put them to work.
