The WRAP Process (Chip and Dan Heath):
W - Widen Your Options:
- Generate multiple alternatives
- Consider opportunity costs
- Look for "and" solutions instead of "or" choices
- Ask "What would I do if my current option disappeared?"
R - Reality-Test Your Assumptions:
- Seek disconfirming evidence
- Zoom out to the base rate
- Get outside perspective
- Run small experiments
A - Attain Distance Before Deciding:
- Use the 10-10-10 rule (How will I feel in 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years?)
- Consider what you'd advise a friend
- Identify and honor your core priorities
- Prepare for being wrong
P - Prepare to Be Wrong:
- Set tripwires for changing course
- Plan for multiple scenarios
- Build in reversibility when possible
- Learn from outcomes to improve future decisions
