Reasoning Checklist: DOs and DON’Ts template
Chris Griffiths’ Reasoning Checklist template will help you break free from biases and replace them with balance which will allow you to build a reasoning based off of all considerations – the input of others’, your gut instinct, positive and negative mindsets, disconfirming evidence and more.
What is a Reasoning Checklist?
Designed as a point of reference, the Reasoning Checklist’s purpose is to guide your reasoning process with poignant prompts. It achieves this by explicitly contrasting what you should do, and what you shouldn’t do when working through the process of reasoning.
Why should you use Chris Griffiths’ Reasoning Checklist?
Both what decisions and what actions you make are based upon your reasoning. Even ignoring reasoning is reasoning in its own right. Given the significance which reasoning has on outcomes, it is therefore extremely important that it is formed from a variety of diverse sources.
Some might claim that reasoning is simply another word for logic or common sense; however, these are insular subjective factors. With Chris Griffiths’ Reasoning Checklist you will be encouraged to inform your reasoning with alternative sources of information and mindsets. When seeking to overcome a problem which you are facing or maybe have in fact formed yourself, this can be monumental. By embracing alternative reasoning methodology in contrast to that which you typically apply by default, you give yourself the opportunity to make different decisions, actions and end results than you normally would.
