Start from ground up. Think on the lines of first principles
2. Have a go to plan
Always have some common framework ready in your brain library that are important to your field of work
3. Connect the dots
Learn how to connect different frameworks to gain deeper, more elaborate insights you can provide
4. Trick to think fast
To be able to think fast - you need knowledge and framework both. Then you need to learn the art of putting your knowledge into frameworks. Sort them, organise them so you can very quickly recall what do you want to talk about
5. Find good frameworks to use
How to find frameworks ?
- Take some situation/project/idea/whatever and start breaking it down into smaller and simpler components. Then see what makes sense and what doesn’t. Try to reason why something is there. Once you are able to do this you can basically learn any framework
- Make your own framework. Once your brain is used to system thinking and framework thinking making new and custom models for your own needs becomes easier and much helpful Example - ethos, pathos,logos → credibility, emotions and logic
