Think Better Analytically

An Analysis of Your Own Thinking

Over the past few years, there have been many different types of thinking that have emerged, promoted as the best one: positive thinking, out-of-the-box thinking, critical thinking, and so on.

How does one obtain these magical thought processes? Really, all these varieties of thinking are related to analytical thinking. But isn’t analytical thinking just like regular thinking?

It may seem that way when one thinks unconsciously all the time. It may feel as though it comes as natural as breathing. However, thinking of ideas and managing your thoughts are not the same thing. Managing your train of thought takes technique and discipline.

Analytical thinking is no exception. It is the breaking down of large chunks of information into small, manageable pieces, sorting and organizing these pieces, and studying the parts to see the big picture.

This can be helpful in a multitude of situations. Whether at work, listening to friends, or at home, analytical thinking and reasoning can be a helpful tool to manage everyday stresses and problems.

Let's dive into your mind to examine…

* The stages of analytical thinking: confront, conform, construct, and conclude.

* The different brain games and activities to play to expand mental horizon.

* The application of analysis to improving social and situational awareness.

* The practice of analytic skills for better career and work-place performance.

* The prevention of over-analyzing, creating the all too-common analysis paralysis.

…and all this and more is included in “Think Better Analytically.”

If you are tired of always feeling like you are missing details or you fail to put details in to a large picture, then build up better analytical abilities today.

    When and where is the event? How much are you willing to spend on it?

    What’s the theme? Figure our what decorations and dress code apply.

    Who’s on the guest list? Decide on the form of the invitation and communicate important and need-to-know information to the guests.

    What’s the plan for food? Snacks, drinks, main course, dessert, and the volume of each.

    What’s the plan for entertainment? Music, games, prizes, etc.

    And while you’re at it, make sure you keep an eye on every Murphy’s Law moment that can ruin your plans. Everything that could go wrong with parking, venue, decorations, food, music and more — create a Plan B for EVERYTHING.

    Yeah, you can probably say that this is all becoming too much of a party pooper with something that is supposed to be fun as a party, but don’t lose sight of the main objective here — analytical thinking. You can plan an entire event and not host it, but since you’re working so hard, might as well host an unforgettable party! You can also put your analytical thinking and event planning to test.

    So don’t lose sight of the goal — analytical thinking is about taking a big decision/concept/event/problem and breaking it down to smaller pieces of in

    This is a very useful skill. Of all the benefits of analytical thinking you can google about, the most important is that it rescues you from becoming overwhelmed in many situations. The ability to manage data and then ask the right questions is more than just common sense.

    Organize information — and you can slice it a million different ways. Depending on the problem, you can sort it in pretty much any order. For example: Trying to decide on a college will involve organizing data as per test scores, tuition cost, dorm living versus off-campus rental, college location, job opportunities, etc. Trying to decide what to do after having been laid off will involve strategies for networking, updating a resume, looking for relevant positions, connecting with employment
