Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My real decisions take months to resolve and matter too much for me to score them honestly, so I never get clean reps
- I make calls about how things will go all the time, but I never write them down or check them after
- There’s one area I consider myself an expert in, and that’s exactly where I’m most stubbornly sure and most often wrong
- When I say I’m eighty percent sure I genuinely don’t know if that means anything
- My child can name their feelings now, but only ever once they’ve already blown up
Practices that may help
- Calibration Training
Calibration training teaches you to match your stated confidence levels to your actual accuracy: if you say "70% confident," roughly 70% of those claims should turn out to be correct. Tetlock’s forecasting research and probability training studies show calibration is trainable with practice and feedback — the evidence here is specific and replicable. - Build calibration reps with low-stakes trivia and almanac questions
Use factual trivia questions as a practice ground for calibration — outcomes resolve immediately and the stakes are zero.
Calibration Training - Calibration practice
Predict your performance before each retrieval test, then compare prediction to outcome.
Self-Regulated Learning: Taking Control of How You Learn - Score your own past predictions to calibrate your outside-view use
Keep a forecast log and score it — you cannot improve calibration without feedback on where you were over- or under-confident.
The Outside View - Identify the specific domains where you are most overconfident
Calibration is domain-specific — find where your confidence most exceeds your accuracy.
Calibration Training - Practice calibration by tracking your confidence predictions
Your "80% confident" beliefs should come true about 80% of the time — check that they do.
Bayesian Thinking: How to Update Beliefs Rationally - Build zone check-ins into the daily routine
Asking "what zone are you in?" regularly makes zone awareness automatic rather than crisis-only.
Zones of Regulation (Leah Kuypers) - Periodically compare self-ratings with objective data
People systematically miscalibrate self-monitoring — periodic objective checks correct the drift.
Self-Monitoring, Made Practical - Use a challenge-calibration partner or coach
Have a more skilled observer set the challenge level — your own assessment is biased.

Regularly make probabilistic predictions and track your accuracy across many of them.
