#16 - Structuring Your Thinking: A Practical Guide to Problem Solving and Decision Making

In this episode, we explore the power of structured thinking, which involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable components, and then analyzing each component systematically. We draw a parallel between structured thinking and the case interview process, which consulting firms use to assess candidates' problem-solving abilities. We provide practical examples of how structured thinking can be applied to your personal life. Whether you're facing a difficult decision or trying to learn new information, we offer tips and tools to help you break down the problem and analyze each component systematically. Join us as we discuss the benefits of using structured thinking, share personal experiences of how we've applied it to our own lives, and provide practical advice to help you become a more effective problem-solver and decision-maker. Let us know what you think, and follow us on Substack and Instagram. This is a public episode.
