You have to choose: left or right, forward or backward, fast or slow, lead or follow, stop or go. When decisions need to be made or problems need to be solved, you face various choices. What do you do?
For important choices, you take the time to think, gather and weigh information, consult with others, draw on your experience, and maybe have another cup of coffee. Chances are, you'll encounter: time pressure, assumptions, information overload, confirmation bias, overconfidence, groupthink, and an overdose of caffeine.
"Studies have shown that 90% of thinking errors are attributed to perception errors. If you can change your perception, you can change your emotions, and this can lead to new ideas. Logic will never change emotions or perception." Edward de Bono
„"By viewing the world from different perspectives, we deepen our understanding of it and can thereby find better solutions." –.” – From FRAMERS – Wie wir bessere Entscheidungen treffenby Kenneth Cukier, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger and Francis de Vericourt.

Think man! Think!
What can you do about this?
You can use more effective thinking methods, such as:
• Critical Thinking
• Higher-Order Thinking
• First-Principles Thinking
These methods give structure to your thought process. They help you distinguish between what is critical, what is essential, and what is ideal. They keep you on track. What they don't do is eliminate your biases, assumptions, and groupthink.
