Ask HN: How to develop clarity of thoughts?

2 points by djangovm ↗ HN
How can I go about developing clarity and organization of thoughts? For example, Given an ambiguous problem statement or topic of discussion, how to break it into coherent rational pieces.

I am looking for books, articles, videos, courses or any resources that might be helpful.

Thanks.

Oh!! That is an excellent question. How can we think better? For me the Books that have helped me the most are:

It's Not Luck by Eliyahu M. Goldratt Link: http://a.co/jeboGiN It's a business novel, where Alex Rogo has to decide what to do with 3 factories on his division. And uses critical thinking steps to come to the solution.

then if you like the approach the next book is:

Thinking for a Change: Putting the TOC Thinking Processes to Use (The CRC Press Series on Constraints Management) by Lisa J. Scheinkopf Link: http://a.co/6Gq4DxP

And finally the Bible for Thinking Processes

The Logical Thinking Process: A Systems Approach to Complex Problem Solving by H. William Dettmer Link: http://a.co/0hDYTsZ
