Critical thinking is a skill that greatly contributes towards effective writing, allowing students to come up with a paper written with in-depth thought and analysis. Critical thinking does not mean negative thinking; rather it has to do with looking at things in their entirety, in both positive and negative ways. It’s an exercise that helps an individual to think logically and organize their thoughts in a meaningful way.
Here are a few tips that will help you develop your critical thinking skills:
- Write something on a daily basis. You can either maintain a diary or maintain your personal blog for this purpose. What you choose to write about is most important; you can either write about the things that occur on a day-to-day basis in your life or you can start reading a book and daily record the events for at least two pages. Before writing give yourself at least 10 minutes to think about what you want to write, focusing on the positive and the negative factors for better results.
- Sometimes you are full of ideas, but when it comes to writing you lie flat. Nothing comes to your mind and you feel yourself out of words, nor do you know how to express your thoughts in a creative and subtle way. Take a five-minute break from writing, and during this period try to rearrange your thoughts and see what it is that you should concentrate on. Once you’ve decided, then start writing on that particular aspect and you will realize that your writing picks up momentum and your thoughts flow smoothly.
