IntuitionPodcast.com The intuition journal Notice, write, revisit. A simple place to preserve a first impression, the information around it, and what you learn afterward. 1. The situation What happened? Include a date and the relevant details. Keep observations separate from interpretations. ________________________________________________________ 2. The first impression What did you feel, prefer, or expect? Use your original words before you know the outcome. ________________________________________________________ 3. What you already know Which facts, previous experiences, or practical constraints were available to you? ________________________________________________________ 4. Another possible explanation What else could account for the observation? Which part of your interpretation remains uncertain? ________________________________________________________ 5. One proportionate action What small step or factual check fits this situation? Use appropriate expertise for consequential decisions. ________________________________________________________ 6. A review date When will useful feedback be available? Define what would support, challenge, or leave your expectation unresolved. ________________________________________________________ 7. The outcome — added later Keep the original entry intact. Record what happened, what you cannot tell, and one thing to change or repeat. ________________________________________________________ For personal reflection, not diagnosis or professional advice. Keep sensitive information private. https://intuitionpodcast.com/resources/intuition-journal/ help@intuitionpodcast.com
