  2. Only spend time with the facts, just filter those relevant facts.
  3. Irrelevant facts should be filtered out fast to save time.
  4. Always cool by not over-react to something and an act of exaggerating is no no in critical thinking which supposed to be accurate, clear and concise.

  6. Making conclusion or wrapping up only when you have enough evidence, else revisit your conclusion.
  7. Don't sit down on your laurel - keep asking and questioning all angles including your own thoughts and ideas.If you confident on your ideas and thoughts, then you may proceed to focus on them.
