Solomon Tools, assembly to keep a personal journal. I've been keeping paper journal since one thousand nine hundred and ninety six and two years ago I converted to journaling software, which I find much faster and more convenient. The program I use is called the journal. I just bought a second copy of the program for my wife to use since she's getting into journaling herself, although you can certainly keep a journal on your computer with just a word processor. What I like about this, Dedicated journaling software is that it has a built in calendar to make it easier to instantly view entries by day, and he can also search past entries for specific key words. What do I do with my journal? Although many people use journals or diaries to keep a record of life events? I don't Why bother with such injuries- and I rarely go back and red past centuries, for me is primarily a problem solving tool away to think through complex decisions. Until I reached the point of clarity, I average about five or ten journal entries

and I usually begin a new entry by typing a question or a problem. I want to solve then proceed to explore the possible solutions base of the problem since So problems may be very simple, such as what topic should I cite from annex speech or article, but other times I explore much broader objects like where do I want to be in twenty turn, and what do I need to start? Stop doing now in order to get their sundays just brainstorm possible solutions, while other times, all right of our problem from different angles. To understand more fully, for example, I might ask myself how would Albert Einstein solve this problem? Leonardo Da Vinci, Jim Carry Captain Picard, or I might ask what's good about this problem. How might I avoid even meaning to solve this problem with the optimal solution? to this problem have to look like. I find these kinds of exercises very valuable. When I try to

Our problem in my thoughts alone by thinking it through, I often meet success with simple problems, but thinking things through often fail to solve more complicated problem. Either. I won't find a satisfactory solution at all, or I won't understand them well enough to feel good about the solutions I do find, or sometimes I'll find, a solution that I feel good about. But after I slept on it and looked at it fresh the next day, it doesnt seem quite so intelligent anymore. So, instead of thinking things through in my head, I tackle those big harry problems by writing them through thinking can often become circular and our brains have a tendency to over generalise? I e were always looking to simplify things by classifying them. According to potter's, however, sometimes is important to consider the raw facts of a problem without trying to prematurely pattern match it to a priest,

his problem. We ve already solved, for example, if you run your own business and experience a temporary sales drop, which happens to be a problem you experienced and overcame once before. You may still need to consider the possibility, that this sales drop has a unique cause. I cannot be overcome by re applying the previous solution by exploring problems on paper, I avoid circular thinking It has also easier to identify gaps in the possible solution. Space that have yet to be considered. One for about a problem from a particular angle. I can put that part to rest and move. On to exploring the next part and the I got it makes it easy to consider the problem from a sufficient number of different perspectives till he me feeling confident that I understand it fully enough to make an intelligent decision so centrally journaling, allow me to overcome some of my brains, functional limitations, effectively expanding the mental working memory, that's available for solving problems, some problem

star by their very nature, just too big to fully understand. In our thoughts alone, we can only focus our conscious minds directly on a small part of any given problem. Our brains are fairly powerful. Prayer conscious minds are still. Family limited in their ability to hold onto multiple simultaneous thoughts, for example, he in close your eyes and visualize an apple tree, but can you visualize at tree from A hundred different angles all the same time and thereby like the one with the most apples, visible, even a question as simple as what should I have for dinner is enough to run us up against our mental limits, to truly make the best possible decision We were together all possible dinners. We might need prioritizing their taste, texture, nutritional value, cost convenience etc. Now, for a relatively simple decision like this, we might consider a mere three or four

options and then take the one that seems best to us in a moment, but one of her face with a much more significant decision with far reaching consequences, or is much more important to feel confident that our choices at least close to optimal life is full of these guys. Choices. What career should I choose? Where shall live? Should I get it worse or remain in an unhappy marriage These are all major life changing decisions. He can certainly choose them. Some have actually without careful consideration. You'll be the one who has to live with the consequences. If you fail to put forth the effort to apply the foolish and of your intellect to making the best possible choices when the stakes are so high, then what does that say about the value you? place on your own life, while even journaling overcome the major limitations of our conscious mines to systematically consider solution spaces with millions of possibilities. Writing things through is at least a step in the right direction. We solved a delegate, a major part of our

decision making to our subconscious mind to our intuition into our emotions, but the more of this process? We can pull into our conscious mind, this by using either paper or computer screen as an extension or a consciousness, the more clarity and focus we gain in knowing that decisions, are the right ones and in the long run after years, of exercising the mental discipline to make more conscious decisions. We read the harvest a far greater results. You just listen to oppose title knowing as a problem, solving tool by Steve Adelina of Steve, Pavlovna, dark com and big things again.
