Clarity of Thought

A famous French philosopher Rene Descartes quotes " I think therefore I am". The way we think and perceive defines our personality and character. If our thinking is enhanced with clarity and reduced ambiguity it helps us to become better and more efficient people. 

A complete stretch from outcome visualization, the pathway to achieving the outcome, possible risks, and alternate plans can be attributed to clarity in thought.

Questioning the "Why": Switching from "What to do?" to "Why to do?" is the first step in achieving clarity of thought. It reduces the ambiguity in expected outcomes and gives a clear understanding of the need and result

Visualize the "Path": Assessing the direction to be taken from the status quo to the outcome is critical in achieving clarity and removing second thoughts. Steps can be figured out along the way but directions to be checked, and validated before starting.

Power of Completeness: Have you got it covered. Completeness owes to being diligent and disciplined Often once we figure out the path we think more about the steps needed to solve rather than ignore steps needed to complete. A habitual occurrence of leaving out things keeps a mind in an eternal state of confusion and a very low-hanging fruit to solve

Risk Register: Having a clear awareness of what can go wrong and the intensity of impact helps us in better risk mitigation and helps in removing ambiguities and fear of failure. A back-of-mind power of preparation is a much-needed tool to develop one's thought process

Plan B: Think from different perspectives keeping yourself in the various stakeholders that can get involved will help in formulating Plan B where if the initial plan goes wrong you can pivot to a new plan

Last but not least keep appreciating yourself and work on confidence to increase your clarity of thought
