• We’ve just shaken hands on something we both accepted, but I have this nagging sense the deal isn’t as good as it could be for either of us

• I’m pulled in a dozen directions and none of them is clearly the thing

Practices that may help

1. Peg System Mnemonics, Made Practical
   The peg system links numbers (or abstract items) to vivid, pre-memorized "peg" images, then fuses new information to those images through bizarre mental pictures. Evidence for the method is primarily mechanistic and practitioner-reported — direct RCT data are limited, but the underlying memory principles (elaborative encoding, dual coding) are well supported.
2. Hara Hachi Bu, Made Practical
   Hara hachi bu is the Okinawan practice of eating until you are about 80% full rather than stuffed — a cultural rule of mindful moderation, not a clinical protocol. The evidence is observational and cultural: it is one habit associated with longevity in the Okinawan "Blue Zone", which makes it suggestive rather than proven cause and effect.
3. Pain of Paying, Made Practical
   Paying for something activates a real, measurable aversion response — the "pain of paying" — that varies with payment method. Cash triggers the strongest pain; credit cards, tap-and-go, and subscriptions trigger the least, which is why they increase spending. Understanding this lets you design your payment environment to engage natural friction for impulsive spending and reduce it for planned purchases.
4. The Johari Window
   The Johari Window, developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, is a model of self-knowledge and interpersonal disclosure organized into four quadrants: Open (known to self and others), Blind (known to others, not to self), Hidden (known to self, not to others), and Unknown (known to neither). It is used in coaching and organizational development to guide feedback exchange and self-disclosure, expanding the Open area and reducing blind spots.
5. Propose a post-settlement settlement to optimize an agreed deal
   After reaching a deal, offer to see if you can both do better — many agreements leave joint value on the table.

6. Reject the fixed-pie assumption
   Stop assuming your gain must be their loss — most negotiations have hidden joint gains.

7. Expanding the Pie: Negotiation Beyond Splitting the Difference
   Expanding the pie means trading across issues that the two parties value differently, so both sides gain more than any fixed compromise would allow. Malhotra and Bazerman’s research shows that most negotiators leave joint gains on the table because they treat every issue as a zero-sum battle.
8. Triple P Parenting (Matthew Sanders)
   Triple P — Positive Parenting Program — is a multilevel evidence-based parenting support system developed by Matthew Sanders at the University of Queensland. It teaches positive relationship skills, proactive management strategies, and calm responses to misbehavior. Multiple meta-analyses and RCTs support its effectiveness for reducing child behavior problems and parent stress, making it one of the most rigorously evaluated parenting programs in the world.
9. Map your three circles honestly
   Separately answer each circle — passion, best-at, economic engine — before looking for the intersection.

10. Expand the ZOPA by adding issues to the negotiation
    When you’re stuck on a single issue, adding more issues often creates room for trades that satisfy both sides.
