“There is no mobile phone app to truly make you think. Siri or Alexa are not going to help you with this one.” ~Dan Pontefract Technological devices give us unfettered access to information. Our conversations with different people introduce additional layers of information. We possibly have data and information overload. However, no amount of knowledge and info can substitute the need to think. To identify information that matters, and to make sense of what the information means to help our choices and decisions, we need to think. Quality thinking is hard. Thinking takes time. Thinking requires intentionality. Thinking is a skill that can be developed. #LetsThinkBetter #HappyChooseDay #thinking #knowledge #decisionmaking #choices #information #skills #growth #progress
