I liked the post, and plan to try using the technique. If anyone is reading this 5 years from now, feel free to ask whether it provided lasting value.
My key takeaway is “As you take actions, use your inner simulator to predict the outcome. Since you are always taking actions, you can always practice using your inner simulator.”
The only part I disliked is the “Past, Present, Future” framing, which felt very forced. “What do you think you know?” and “Do you know what you are doing?” are both questions about the present. However, I’m not sure what a good framing would be. The best I can come up with is “Beliefs, Goals, Planning”, but that’s not very catchy.
Huh! I view it as a bit overbroad since “what do I think I know?” is sometimes about things like “is the bloke across the poker table from me holding an ace?” but I think most of my “what do I think I know?” internal questions are about what’s happened in the past. “Does sugar dissolve in water?” often breaks down into “the last time I tried it, did sugar dissolve in water?” or “have people told me that sugar dissolves in water and were they usually right about things like that?”
Still, the past/present/future frame isn’t the key part of the third fundamental question. Best of luck and skill with the new technique!
