The secret of common sense: how can we use our observational skills to navigate the world?

To develop common sense, all you need to do is take the time to look carefully around you, look for patterns and connections, consider other people's points of view and practice active listening. Then you should be ready to solve any problem, even if it means looking through your fingers for the solution!

Observation is a key skill which enables us to develop common sense - the ability to make good decisions and judgments based on what we see, hear and experience. Common sense is essential in many aspects of life, from navigating social situations and solving problems, to making major life decisions and pursuing our goals.

How can we develop our common sense through observation? Here are some key points to consider:

Attention to detail

One of the most important ways to develop common sense through observation is to pay close attention to detail. This means taking the time to really look and consider the things around us. rather than touching on them or ignoring them. By focusing on the small details, we can better understand the world and the people around us, which will help us make better decisions.

Search for models and links

This means noticing the ways in which things are related or interconnected, and considering how these relationships might affect our choices and actions. For example, if you notice that a particular person always seems to be in a good mood after exercising, you'd probably consider including more physical activity in your own routine to improve your own mood.

Seek multiple perspectives

It's also important to seek multiple perspectives when observing. This means considering other people's points of view, even if they differ from our own. By seeing things from different angles, we can gain a more balanced understanding of a situation and make better decisions.

Practicing active listening

It means paying attention to what others are saying, with our eyes, ears and minds. By actively listening, we can better understand the perspectives and motivations of others, which will help us, once again, to make better decisions.

Conclusion

Observation is a powerful tool that allows us develop common sense and make better decisions in life. By paying close attention to detail, looking for patterns and connections, seeking multiple perspectives and practicing active listening, we can better understand the world and the people around us, and use this knowledge to make better decisions.

Observation model (available in 2023)

A template is a predefined pattern of observations created by another user that you can immediately use to save time and discover different approaches. Any user can create a template and choose whether or not to share it with the public. You can add a model to your library, modify it and adapt it for new uses. You can also add a model directly to a current study or to a new study.

A template is composed of the following information:

  • The objective of the observational study

  • Possible additional explanations

  • All named analysis objectives (tabs)

  • All first-level descriptors in each analysis (N:0)

  • The category of the model according to the type of observation

  • The pseudo of the creator of the study
