I find what helps is using whatever methods I can find or figure
  out that help with thinking clearly. I haven't found "the
  system" all neatly outlined for me.* I envy people who find one
  that works for them.* I just play it by ear and try to use the
  best for each situation. It's like having a sorting algorithm.*
  Here comes new information.* Oh look, there's my preconceive
  notions joining it.* Let's compare. Sort sort sort... this goes
  into this bucket, this one goes into that bucket, this other one
  goes into the other bucket... sort sort sort.* All on the fly.*
  I try to stay nimble and try to assess situations/questions
  fresh from within the context I find them asked and what I
  perceive the needs of the asker are. I envy people who say,
  "Logic is the basis for..." and stuff like that.* They got the
  rules laid out.* I tried it.* Didn't 'jive' with me; too many
  holes to use for everything, but useful for some things. Still a
  work in progress.
