Critical Thinking Points

* Don't procrastinate on unpleasant tasks 
-Put unpleasant tasks high on your list of priorities 

*Break a complex task into parts 
If a task is complex and also unpleasant , break it into a number of parts , and work on it one part at a time 
Break a term paper into components for library research and then tie it up 

*Take charge of your mind
Mind can process 500 words in a minute and a lecture is around 150 words. Hence it's a good idea to take notes during a lecture .

*Capture insights by sms or whatsapp to yourself when they come 

*Reading 
Take a chapter and skim through first two paragraphs and last 
Quietly think of the intent of the author and summarize
Read entire without underlining 
Then underline 
Review what you read 

*Factual knowledge is knowing about. Performance knowledge is knowing how, sometimes referred to as “know-how.” The terms are roughly equivalent, respectively, to “book smart” and “street smart.” Both factual knowledge and performance contribute to intelligence, so it is unfortunate that they are thought to be in opposition to each other

*Performance Knowledge is ignored as it is more active and dynamic . It requires thinking skill which can be raised 

*Two kinds of thinking 
a)by widening your focus and looking at options 
b)narrowing your focus and looking at the problem critically 
Ability to evaluate ideas is important 

*Feeling is no substitute for thinking 

*Distinguish between facts and opinions
