A self-honesty worksheet compares a statement, the evidence behind it, and the behavior you can observe next. Record an uncertainty column so that honesty does not become an excuse for treating a negative guess as fact.

A worked situation: I never have time
Fictional example. A reader says she never has time to write. Her calendar shows two free periods, but those periods often follow exhausting shifts. A workable test needs to respect both facts.

A worked situation: The market is indifferent
Fictional example. A reader says nobody answers her proposals, but three messages were sent to old addresses. Testing current addresses is more informative than declaring the entire market indifferent.
