Tools to help with thinking

Hej devs,

Here's a website that I recently learned of that contains many helpful thinking frameworks (that they call thinking tools) to solve complex problems.

The website is called "Untools" (https://untools.co) and it contains many different resources to help think about problems. It's completely free.

They categorize the tools by "Systems Thinking", "Decision Making", "Problem Solving", and "Communication".

Each framework contains a brief description of what it is, when it could/should be used, how it works, and an example of how to use it.

This tool has been extremely helpful for me personally and it's interesting just to browse through the different ways to think about a problem.

Pro tip:
If you use Notion, create a database with the tools you find interesting and add some personal tags detailing when you might use it.

The website is great, but it contains a lot of thinking tools you might never have a need for, and, as all websites, it might be gone some day.

My database pages look something like this. Content is the copy-pasted page from untools and it contains a handy link back to the original Untools page.
