Before starting the class- critical thinking- I always believed that \u00a0we all do our best by thinking rightly and making correct decisions- about our choices in life- whether it\u2019s planning for career\/ finance to the smallest thing like buying a soap.<\/p>\n
So I wonder what will be there in this workshop- Are there types of thinker? Or guidelines about thinking in a correct manner.<\/p>\n
In this complex world- I choose to lead a happy and simple life and during any problem or on taking decisions- I mostly prefer to choose things which are simple and quick.<\/p>\n
Once the workshop started we were asked about our own definitions of critical thinking- For me- critical thinking is thinking by considering all the aspects like- impact whether positive or negative on my life and people associated with me.<\/p>\n
I was happy with my answer as I believed I am doing pretty good job in taking decisions\u2026<\/p>\n
After attending the sessions- I was able to reflect that I too have many biases which do reflect in my thinking which eventually affects my decisions.
\nI realized that I have Bandwagon effect- which states- The tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. I have always been told- You should respect your elders and never question their decisions- So many times I just do the things which they have done- whether choosing a restaurant for giving parties or going to the same doctor or investing in fixed deposits. I even realized that many time I feel it\u2019s safe and why to waste time in searching.
\nI also have- Duration neglect- I believe I have lots of time in the world. So I tend to delay things- There are many things but majorly I feel I neglected my health thinking I have lots of time for which I do feel guilty after realizing.
\nAfter the session, I have started keeping a check on my decisions and doing my best to avoid these biases.<\/p>\n
After 4 sessions there has been a small change in my thinking- now I try to evaluate things and take decisions- Like planning a holiday- considering all factors- seeing through a different lens- moving out of my comfort zone- trying to read reviews as well as cross questioning my beliefs.
\nI try not to be judgmental- instead, I try to find out- try to understand\/ experience and then decide.
\nI started prioritizing things by changing my mindset and understanding value of time.<\/p>\n
I understood in life choices can be simple but while making a choice one must be a critical thinker!!<\/p>\n
