Intentionally rationalizing against your beliefs could be a good strategy for doing a cost-benefit analysis. For example, if you currently support increasing the minimum wage, imagine yourself as someone who is against it, and from that perspective come up with as many disadvantages to it as possible. I’m sure I’m not the first to come up with this idea but I haven’t seen it anywhere else; is there a name for this concept?
