How to think ?
By hrushi, history, 2 years ago, In English

This sounds a simple question but listen. I can only think for 10-15 minutes straight but after that everything starts to fade. I can't even remember what I was thinking while solving problems. Some of you may have faced this problem. I want to know what you did to solve this problem. I want to be able to think clearly for long time. What shoud I do?

if i think that i am forgetting stuff, i start writing down the main ideas, especially if i am thinking for a longer period of time or i if i need to work something out

    Thanks I will try writing my obs. One more question Do you break down the observations and think about them separetely or think of the complete problem(this is what I do)?

      what do you mean by break down observations? usually, i try to think of various observations that might help and write them down if i think they are helpful

write everything you're thinking, even the smallest details you notice in a problem. It has helped me a lot

I too once realised that i was getting confused in my own thoughts jumping from one idea to another.. THen i started to write down every minor observation i took or the approach i was thinking of in a google doc while solving , this greatly helped me in reflecting my thoughts and also it gave me a good feeling when i could not solve a question because i could see all the thought i actually tried. **helped me a lot , now i have discontinued doing it **

Once every 10-15 minutes I go through all of my ideas from the beginning to make sure I did not miss anything
