Hindsight Bias

HINDSIGHT BIAS WORKSHEET

After an outcome is known, the mind can make it feel obvious and predictable. This is hindsight bias, and it can intensify guilt, shame and harsh self-judgement.

The worksheet separates what happened, what you knew at the time, what became known later and the standard you are now applying to yourself.

A fair review can include responsibility and learning without pretending you had information that was not available.

Use the final section to identify a lesson, repair or future choice while speaking to your past self with context and humanity.

With warmth,
