Welcome to Real Life: Age 9 · Chapter 8

Think It Through

Tools only work if you use them. The next time you have a real choice or an “is this even true?” moment, slow down, run a tool, and write down what happened.

⏱ A few minutes, whenever a real one comes up
Kit Tashi Ren

You’ve got the book. Tashi gave you the tools in Chapter 8: the Truth Test and the Tomorrow Test. This page is your thinking notebook, where you use them on real claims and real choices.

What You’ll Need

  • A few minutes, whenever a real one shows up
  • A pen, or the on-screen fields below
  • Real choices and claims from your actual week

My Thinking Notebook

Two pages in one. Use the top when you see a claim that seems too good to be true. Use the bottom when you have a real choice to make.

The Truth Test (for a wild claim)

The Tomorrow Test (for a real choice)

Tashi’s note: The more you use the tools, the faster they get, until one day you do them without even thinking. That’s what getting wiser actually looks like.

Tashi
“Your thinking notebook becomes proof of how smart you’re getting. Keep going whenever a real one shows up.”

Keep Going
