So you effectively are limiting yourself at the speed at which you speak to be able to find or solve a problem.

However, you can train your mind to go much faster than that.

And the way you do it is effectively, you start with an idea,

And then you just, you almost let it roll forward with, well, okay, let's say we want to grow a top line.

We want to grow sales.

We want to gain market share.

We want to close a certain account.

We are having a cost efficiency issue in that particular part of the business.

And then you start thinking through what are the different levels you can move.

you can say well okay if volume grows based on what i'm seeing in that research where you are seeing the industrial demand pick up in the country and i know we have these three accounts we are actually onboarding that means that we if we push further the cost efficiency we might have an issue that volume is going to grow faster but you do these type of decisions

I just let my brain effectively think through all of them.

And then it kind of builds this.

And at the end of the process, what I usually find is that I have three or four things that builds clarity that these are the three or four things that we got to focus, that I have to focus on to be able to get to a better outcome.

As an example, I do the same thing in my personal relationship with my kids, with their schooling, with their activities, where you let you just, you let, it's key to go into a very calm state when you do it.

So this way you're,

Removing the environmental noise around you as you're doing it as well.

But I find it is a very effective technique as a mental model to be able to solve problems and find different alternatives to solve a problem.

At the personal level, I use AI predominantly for research or fact check, or whenever I have an idea or thought process, I usually, my bias is to always go to one of the AI platform.

I have all of them on my phone where effectively I would use it as a way to either go deeper in a certain topic or get more information about a certain topic.

i also use it whenever i have large documents that i would have read it's a good way to get a summary and ai's perspective on what it found in them and what are the key takeaways it's actually finding out of that data out of that information but you're not using it to sort of like here's a 500 page document summarize this for me in the way that you mentioned this specifically was i've read the 500 pages give me the summary almost like a spaced repetition
