Skills (44)

• apply-habit-stacking-technique

  Use when building a new habit — applying habit stacking to anchor the new behavior to an existing established routine, using the existing habit as a reliable cue to trigger the new behavior without relying on motivation or memory.

• apply-nudge-design-principles

  Use when designing choice environments, public health interventions, or product defaults — applying behavioral nudge design principles (defaults, salience, framing, social norms, implementation intentions) to influence choices in a predictable direction without coercion or eliminating options.

• design-behavior-change-plan

  Use when someone needs to adopt a new behavior, break an unwanted habit, or overcome motivational barriers to sustained action

• design-reward-schedule

  Use when designing a reward or incentive system for behavior maintenance — selecting between fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, and variable interval reinforcement schedules based on the desired behavior pattern and maintenance requirements.

• design-token-economy-system

  Use when designing a structured reinforcement system to systematically increase target behaviors in classrooms, clinical settings, workplaces, or homes — particularly for behavior change programs, special education, addiction recovery, or organizational performance management.

  Use when supporting someone through emotional difficulty, conducting a therapeutic conversation, or any context requiring deep comprehension and trust-building

• apply-grey-rock-technique

  Use when interacting with a manipulative, narcissistic, or high-conflict individual who targets you for emotional reactions — and where disengagement or no-contact is not immediately possible (shared workplace, co-parenting, unavoidable family contact).

• apply-stress-inoculation-training

  Use when preparing someone to cope with predictable high-stress situations, trauma exposure, or when building resilience before anticipated stressors

• run-motivational-interviewing

  Use when someone is ambivalent about change, resisting intervention, or when direct advice and persuasion have failed to produce movement

• apply-acceptance-commitment-therapy

• apply-anchoring-defense

  Use when receiving a first number in a negotiation, price discussion, estimate, or judgment task — a list price, opening offer, salary figure, or comparison value — before reacting to or countering it, because any initial number pulls subsequent judgment toward itself even when the number is arbitra

• apply-availability-heuristic-correction

  Use when judging how frequent, common, or risky something is based on how easily examples come to mind — recent news coverage, a vivid personal anecdote, a memorable failure — before treating that ease-of-recall as an accurate frequency estimate, because memorability and actual frequency are driven

• apply-clinamen-deviation-technique

  Use when someone is stuck in a deterministic rut — repeating the same approach, applying the same rules, or exhausting structured/logical techniques without a breakthrough — and needs a deliberate, controlled deviation to surface a genuinely novel option. E.g. "we've tried everything logical and it'

• apply-cognitive-reframing

  Use when a person holds distorted, unhelpful, or catastrophic thought patterns that fuel emotional distress, anxiety, or depression

• apply-devils-advocate-technique

  Use when a group or individual is converging on a conclusion and about to commit to it — before an irreversible decision, a major bet, or locking in a plan — to deliberately construct and test the strongest case against the prevailing consensus view, rather than assuming early agreement means the vi

• apply-dual-process-diagnostic

  Use when about to act on a fast, intuitive judgment for a decision that's high-stakes, unfamiliar, made under time pressure, or in a domain that doesn't behave regularly enough for intuition to have learned reliable cues — check the situation against these specific conditions before trusting the int

• apply-halo-effect-mitigation

  Use when evaluating a person, product, brand, or piece of work across multiple distinct dimensions — performance reviews, product testing, grading, judging, or quality assessment — before letting one strong first impression, or a single standout trait, color your rating of the other, unrelated dimen

• apply-hindsight-bias-correction

  Use when reviewing a past decision after its outcome is already known — a postmortem, an investment review, a medical case review, a historical judgment — before judging how foreseeable the outcome was, because knowing the outcome makes it feel like it was more predictable in advance than it actuall

• apply-logotherapy

  Use when someone is struggling to find meaning or purpose — especially when facing difficult circumstances, loss, or suffering that can't be removed or fixed directly — to help them identify meaning through one of three routes (work/achievement, love/relationships, or the attitude chosen toward unav

• apply-mental-models-framework

  Use when facing complex decisions, unfamiliar problems, or situations requiring clear thinking — applying a mental models framework (first principles, inversion, second-order thinking, map vs. territory) to reason through the situation rather than relying on intuition and cognitive bias.

• apply-metacognition-techniques

  Use when wanting to improve learning effectiveness, studying for complex material, or preparing for high-stakes performance — applying metacognitive techniques (calibration, self-explanation, planning, monitoring, and evaluation) to improve self-regulated learning and reduce the illusion of knowing.

• apply-primacy-effect-mitigation

  Use when reviewing multiple candidates, options, or items one after another in sequence — interviews, applications, presentations, evidence — before forming an overall ranking or impression, because information presented earlier in a sequence disproportionately shapes the overall judgment relative t

• apply-regret-minimization

  Use when facing a major irreversible decision — career change, starting a company, relocating, committing to a relationship — to evaluate choices by projecting your future self's retrospective judgment rather than current-moment anxiety.

• apply-rumination-interruption

  Use when you notice yourself repeatedly, passively replaying the causes or consequences of a negative event without arriving at any new insight or plan — interrupt the cycle with a concrete behavioral break, shift from abstract self-evaluation to concrete process-focused thinking, and use self-dista

  Use when addressing deep, longstanding emotional and behavioral patterns — particularly personality disorders, chronic depression, relationship dysfunction, or childhood-rooted emotional difficulties that have not responded to standard CBT.

• apply-slippery-slope-fallacy-check

  Use when evaluating an argument that claims a first step will inevitably trigger a chain of increasingly severe consequences — require independent evidence or a stated causal mechanism for each link in the chain before accepting the conclusion, and reject the argument if any link's probability is me

• apply-statistical-prediction-preference

  Use when a validated statistical model, checklist, or actuarial formula exists for a prediction task — hiring, credit risk, medical diagnosis, parole/recidivism, quality forecasting — and you are tempted to override it with expert intuition or "holistic" case-by-case judgment, because decades of com

• design-cognitive-load-reduction

  Use when designing learning materials, complex procedures, or interfaces that require users to process and retain information — applying cognitive load theory to reduce extraneous load, manage intrinsic load, and optimize germane load for improved comprehension and performance.

• apply-circle-of-influence

  Use when deciding where to direct limited time, energy, or effort — classify each issue as within your Circle of Influence (things you can act on and change) or only within your Circle of Concern (things you care about but currently can't change), and concentrate effort on the former, because consis

• apply-confucian-life-stage-framework

  Use when the user wants to reflect on where they stand developmentally by age or decade, self-assess life-stage progress, or plan what comes next as they age — e.g. "am I on track for my age", "what should I focus on in my 40s", "life stage reflection", "midlife check-in

• apply-gratitude-journaling

  Use when establishing a daily or weekly practice to improve wellbeing, reduce depression symptoms, or shift habitual negative attentional bias — by writing specific, concrete things you are grateful for using the evidence-based format that produces lasting mood effects.

• apply-grit-under-volatility

  Use when pursuing a long-term goal involving sustained setbacks, discouragement, or volatility — a new venture, a difficult skill, a volatile position — and others, including credible experts, advise you to quit, because long-term perseverance separates those who eventually succeed from the larger g

• apply-growth-mindset-techniques

  Use when someone is avoiding challenges, giving up after setbacks, or attributing ability rather than effort and strategy to performance outcomes

• apply-job-crafting-technique

  Use when someone feels their job is meaningless or purely transactional, wants to cultivate a stronger sense of purpose or calling in their existing work without changing jobs, or a manager/coach wants a structured way to help someone reshape their relationship to their role from the bottom up.

• apply-self-compassion-practice

  Use when helping someone reduce self-criticism, shame, or harsh inner judgment — particularly when perfectionism, failure responses, or chronic self-blame are interfering with wellbeing, resilience, or motivation.

• design-character-strengths-plan

  Use when helping someone identify their top character strengths and design a structured plan to apply them in new ways — particularly for improving engagement, wellbeing, resilience, or role satisfaction.

• design-goal-setting-framework

  Use when someone needs to define, prioritize, or create an actionable system around meaningful goals — personal, professional, or organizational

• design-resilience-building-program

  Use when designing a structured program to build psychological resilience in individuals or teams facing chronic stress, adversity, or high-risk environments

• run-strengths-assessment

  Use when helping someone identify their core strengths for career decisions, team composition, coaching, or building on existing assets rather than deficit remediation

• apply-johari-window

  Use when a team or working relationship suffers from unclear mutual understanding — recurring surprises about how someone is perceived, or unsurfaced blind spots — map what's known to self and known to others across four quadrants (open, blind, hidden, unknown), and use disclosure and solicited feed

• apply-social-proof-principles

  Use when designing persuasive communications, product pages, or social environments — applying social proof principles (testimonials, user counts, expert endorsement, social sharing metrics, popularity signals) to reduce decision uncertainty and increase adoption of a desired behavior or choice.

• design-conflict-de-escalation-plan

  Use when facing an escalating conflict situation — designing a conflict de-escalation approach that reduces emotional temperature, creates safety for dialogue, identifies underlying needs, and builds conditions for collaborative resolution rather than adversarial win-lose outcomes.

• design-social-influence-strategy

  Use when designing persuasive communication, ethical influence campaigns, or analyzing why a message is failing to shift attitudes or behavior
