How do I do it?
Change the viewpoint, role, assumptions, or grounding.
Choose a named move below to open its instructions.
- Reperspective
Deliberately re-render the situation from other viewpoints (the other actor, an outsider, your future self) to surface information and incentives your default view hides.
- Rerole
Reassign what functional job an entity is actually doing (gatekeeper, sensor, bottleneck, translator) instead of what its title says.
- Reontologize
Change what kind of thing the problem is made of, turning an object into a process, a game, a signal, or an ecology, so new operations become possible.
- Reground
Reconnect abstract words to observable examples, measurements, and actions, so people can actually tell what counts as an instance.
- Reschema
Borrow the relational skeleton of a domain you understand and transfer only the structure that survives an explicit mismatch check.
- Reorient
Change the direction of your reasoning, working backward from the endpoint or imagining absence, to collapse a forest of options into a few necessities.
