Improving our thinking skills can help us make better decisions, solve problems more efficiently, and achieve our goals. Here are some tips that can help you enhance your thinking skills:

  1. Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of being present and aware of your thoughts and surroundings. By practicing mindfulness, you can become more focused and clear-headed, which can improve your thinking skills.

  2. Read and learn: Reading is a great way to expose yourself to new ideas and perspectives. It can also help you expand your vocabulary and improve your analytical skills. Make sure to read a variety of materials, including books, articles, and essays.

  3. Take breaks: Taking breaks can help you recharge your brain and improve your productivity. Research has shown that taking short breaks throughout the day can actually help you work more efficiently.

  4. Ask questions: Asking questions can help you gain a deeper understanding of a topic and can also help you identify gaps in your knowledge. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they might sound silly.

  5. Practice critical thinking: Critical thinking is the ability to analyze information and make objective judgments. You can practice critical thinking by examining arguments and evidence, questioning assumptions, and considering alternative perspectives.

  6. Collaborate with others: Collaboration can help you gain new insights and perspectives on a topic. Working with others can also help you develop your communication and problem-solving skills.

I hope these tips are helpful in improving your thinking skills. Remember, like any skill, improving your thinking skills takes time and practice. By incorporating these tips into your daily routine, you can become a more effective thinker.

HOW TO THINK BETTER

The world is complex and interconnected, and we need to understand the big ideas from big disciplines, in order to have a whole map of reality to be able to make better decisions.

Critical thinking has to be based on going from the fundamental ideas, o the mental models.

Mental models are the most important ideas of each science: philosophy, mathematics, physics, statistics, engineering, chemistry, biology, psychology, economics, and history.
