When was the last time you thought something through on your own?
In our world where so many of us have seemingly infinite access to information at our fingertips or voice command, it’s easy to default to letting others do the thinking for us.
The practice of thinking things through on our own has become the exception, not the norm.
The value in the practice of thinking things through on your own doesn’t lie in generating a collection of right answers as an output, but in developing clarity, competence, and confidence in your thinking process.
Even when your output proves wrong, you have an opportunity to learn about, rethink, and refine your thinking process.
And when you’ve developed the skill of thinking things through on your own, you can think more critically about the information you access and whether or not it is worthy of your trust.
