Practice Worksheet

This worksheet lets you apply the meta-problem framework to a situation you want to figure out. In lay-person terms, we call everything below solving a problem.

01

Pick a situation to analyze

Pick one where you have evidence that there’s a bettersolution out there, if you could just find it. (This can just be a feeling, reasons, or data)

04

Evaluate each option based on the goals from Step 2

Which seems best? What qualities make it not the best? Does your evidence apply?

02

Write down your goals

Take a moment to pause and reflect on your objectives. Write down your goals in a clear and detailed manner, considering both the bigger picture and the smaller.

05

Develop new options

Come up with new options based on your analysis.

03

Write down your options

What can you do? What decisions could you make

06

Assess the evidence

If there still might be a better option out there, decide if it’s worth it to keep looking.
