How Heuristic thinking works

 

This is not as complicated as what you think of, especially for the thinkers who love to ruminate, rationalize and philosophize everything that they see, hear, feel and think. 

According to Wikipedia: 
"Heuristic (/hjʉˈrɪstɨk/; Greek: "Εὑρίσκω", "find" or "discover") refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery that give a solution which is not guaranteed to be optimal. Where the exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution via mental shortcuts to ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, stereotyping, or common sense.
In more precise terms, heuristics are strategies using readily accessible, though loosely applicable, information to control problem solving in human beings and machines."

I must confess that I am a little bit stereotype but then, who else are not? The content of my blog is morely composed of my own experiences, thus producing experienced based opinions and ideologies.
