Keynote: Debug your thinking - Laila Bougria - NDC London 2024
Develop the skill of debugging your thinking to make better decisions, improve problem-solving, and overcome biases and assumptions. Learn to question your thoughts, consider alternative perspectives, and practice critical thinking.
- Debugging thinking is a skill that has been lost over the years, and it’s essential to develop it in order to make better decisions.
- When faced with a problem, stop and think about the thought process behind it, asking “why” and “what needs to be true” to solve the problem.
- Consider reframing the problem to find a better solution, taking the time to understand the assumptions and biases involved.
- Keep an open mind and consider alternative perspectives, even if they seem impossible or crazy, as they can lead to new ideas and solutions.
- Take time to sit mindfully and observe your thoughts, rather than just reacting to them.
- Practice critical thinking and analyzing the problem deeply, considering multiple solutions and their implications.
- Write down your thoughts and assumptions to clarify them, and make them available for feedback and iteration.
- And most importantly, learn to debug your own thinking, recognizing biases and assumptions and taking steps to overcome them.
