Definition: Assumptions are beliefs we create based on past experiences, making us act like we know the answer before actually analyzing the problem.
Example: I assume my friend didn’t text back because they’re mad at me, instead of considering they might be busy.
Application: Challenge assumptions by flipping the script. Instead of, “What do I think is true?” ask, “What if the opposite is true?” If you’re stuck, brainstorm the opposite of each assumption. Mind-blowing revelations often happen here 🤯.
