Consider another view or update an opinion · D8.7

Update an opinion when circumstances change

New experience may affect a belief you have held for a while.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. State the belief and the situation in which it seemed to fit.
2. Describe the new information or changed circumstances separately.
3. Decide whether to keep, narrow, revise, or suspend the belief, and explain your reason.

An example

Working alone suited that project; this one needs skills I do not have. Collaboration may fit now.

Reflect

How much does the new information justify changing your view?

Next time

You can revise gradually or remain uncertain.
