Challenge Rationalization with Accountability
Our brains are wired to rationalize our thoughts and actions, even the most well-intentioned ones. To combat this tendency, it is essential to hold oneself accountable by writing down predictions and hypotheses. By revisiting these written statements when outcomes differ, one can identify errors in thinking and improve decision-making for the future. Establishing a feedback loop and not allowing room for constant rationalization can help in avoiding the trap of cognitive biases and fostering a growth mindset.
