You know who also are masters of this? Freestyle battle rappers. The ability to create rhymes off the top of your head vs an opponent. Also stand up comedians, who do improv or comedic roasters that observationalist comedy,meaning they can crack on your shoes,clothes,hair etc etc. They seem to tap into this flow while battling each other.Look up a guy named Kraig Smith the roaster He does frame thinking at a genius level.
So basically it comes down to knowing your topic in depth while also having it cooked down to its very essence. I find this to be true to for myself. Good insight!

It requires a lot of knowledge and abstraction capacity in order to learn about it and take the framework. Not suitable for superficial and conformists.
it depends on the topic. People can be fluent in some areas and then struggle or completely avoid any other topics in order to look good all the time. Even the most fluent fast thinkers can struggle speaking if they don't know what are they talking about or have limited knowledge and experience. Problem is when people have knowledge and experience but still struggle talking about what they want to say. This is usually because they struggle speaking on other topics and carried the assumption that they are bad at talking about anything.

Thank you for this video! Very helpful. When I was young I was inarticulate and "slow" or completely withdrawn in conversations. I spent my 20's reading books on communication, psychology, spirituality, dating, etc. I took rigorous notes because I was desperate to become a more full version of myself. Now in my 30's I'm proud to say when I'm in conversation with people my mind is very open and active. I didn't have the terminology of "frameworks" but this video well demonstrates what I feel is going on inside my head. I love listening to people and watching the various internal frameworks link together and create connections. After years of this kind of study and practice it has become very strong and now almost intuitional, when I listen to people my mind delivers thoughts from these frameworks so quickly at times it's overwhelming but in a grandeur way like driving through a breath-taking mountain scape or something. Anyway thank you for putting language to this and for providing the examples. I subscribed and will listen to more of your voicings
1. steer don't follow. take back control to steer convo. 2. framework thinking, have library of frameworks to talk about. ex revenue=units soldxprice 3. profit=revenue- cost 4. put your knowledge, short, organize them into frameworks. 5. create 6. credibility, emotions, logic = ethos, pathos, logos 7. what you love, good at, can be paid for, the world needs (4 levers ikegai) apply to topic (ex: how to make $ doing what you
She is not talking about profit per se, ikegai per se, or pathos logos ethos per se, what she is talking about is finding broader categories and work from there as opposed to finding isolated details or facts
I used to struggle finding things to say when I was younger and when I started working in NYC in my early 20s I would be constantly pressed to have an answer for something, I don’t know exactly what happened but I started getting good at talking about things on the fly, after watching this video this is exactly what happened, you just understand the general idea or the essence of something and talk / evolve off of this. Not being able to find the words for something was when I was trying to get a specific answer

I started out liking this, but as a composition and rhetoric teacher, I immediately began to think that when we increase speed, we lose context and nuance. Frameworks seem to take incredibly complex issues and boil them down into very simplistic (and limited) interpretations that restrict options and conversations rather than open them up. We also sacrifice our ability to listen effectively. We’re so busy trying to rush and be perceived a certain way that we aren’t really hearing what the other person is saying, and they may be saying good stuff that we can learn from.
Exactly what I was thinking throughout the video (halfway actually). Think outside the box. Someone who's good at talking or replying back fast doesn't necessarily means they're smarter.
While we can get stuck in a framework and overthink in misdirected ways, we all work with frameworks, whether you realize it or not. Many frameworks are developed organically, cognitive constructs learned naturally through everyday experiences. Intentionally digesting and reasoning through the frameworks we use increases efficiency and normalcy, which both improve communication. Being able to identify fitted frameworks and being able to break frame is important. When operating naturally, this doesn't restrict conversations, but the frameworks express a relational model that flows intuitively and only get stuck at dead ends when your understanding doesn't match with what's being communicated. It helps you to recognize when you really don't understand what others are saying. When they address something and use it in a way that's not consistent with your best matched framework, that indicates you need to inquire of them the framework and information they're using at that point to be able to reach understanding, or scan the related frameworks for some preloaded fault in that vicinity.
in brief: In this video, the presenter, Vicki, explains how to think fast before speaking by using frameworks. Frameworks are structures that organize thoughts and help identify key elements that influence a result. The video discusses the importance of reasoning from first principles, using examples of revenue and profit frameworks in a business context. Vicki suggests two ways to acquire frameworks: 1-Create them yourself by distilling the essence of your knowledge into structures. 2-Find hidden frameworks on the internet by extracting the key elements from existing information and organizing it into frameworks. She gives examples of frameworks like Ikigai (making money doing what you love) and Ethos, Pathos, and Logos (business storytelling). By building a library of frameworks and connecting them together, one can think fast on their feet and provide insightful responses to a variety of topics.

Quick summ: Use relatable models from other places to break down a complex topic. Concepts transfer over, even from different fields. Everything has a beginning, middle, and end (stories, how-to instructions, workout routines, etc.). An algorithm for a small computer program is comparable to a recipe (ingredients -> variables, steps -> lines). The first step to solve _________ problem is to first identify the problem. All this dot-connecting can go on and on. Speaking of which, the ikigai model looks very useful in the biz world and it would not be a surprise to see it come up again, especially after watching this. I'm glad that this framework thinking is addressed in this vid. Thank you for bringing it to light!
I'm 35 years old and have been reading charlie munger, farnam street, James Clear and others like it for over a decade. If I'm being honest I often worry that the person across the table isn't considering enough variables if they oversimplify complex subjects when discussing strategy and/or how to move forward on a project, whatever the project may be. While I may be right sometimes, watching your video really helped me break what I consider to be some calcification in the way I view things. We cannot make perfect decisions, but constricting variables into frameworks as best as we can can at least help us initiate feedback loops in a more quantifiable way that will help us get better at getting s#!% done. Great video, thank you.
it's not about arriving at the right answer, it is about setting the person across the table back on their heels. if you are thinking about "variables" then frameworks aren't for you. try to think more in terms of FLY-SWATTERS. and aim for their forehead. hope that helps!
This video covers situations that occur in critical meetings. It’s for people like myself who can get easily flustered when the meeting is going in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons. It’s a great way to be prepared for a meeting and help redirect without becoming the negative stick in the mud.
This video taught me a lot. It could also be called, talk in frameworks. I used to feel bad when I got confused in conversations. I saw some famous people just say the same stories over and over. So I decided to make my own answers that I can use anytime, anywhere. My best one is "I don’t know enough to have a good opinion."😂 My main problem is when I get excited I forget all about frameworks and just blurt out whatever I think.
@@iniciantepadawan6542 have you heard of aqal model. From integral culture? That quadrant model is quite useful. Its like a back drop to sort all knowledge- so like interior/exterior and matches research paradigms to a space. It's a whole culture so you can get sucked in. Haha. But just look into the AQAL map. And imagine yourself where the quadrants meet. Your self as in where effect meets affect. It's a good model to sort models :)
@@patricksullivan1827 it’s a good one, but i don’t like it’s duality. it doesn’t have ‘spin’ because it’s always dual. whereas as my model ;) has I/We/All - no it. there is no real Other but the other is always apart of the I. (Wilber starts to do this with Good True Beautiful, but fails by asserting 4 categories from those 3.)
Here is a simple framework you can use to think fast before you speak: Identify your goal: What do you want to accomplish through your communication? Consider your audience: Who are you speaking to and what do they need or want to know? Gather information: What information do you need to present in order to achieve your goal and meet the needs of your audience? Organize your thoughts: How can you structure your information in a way that is clear and logical? Practice: If possible, practice what you will say in advance to help you feel more confident and prepared. Using this framework can help you quickly and effectively organize your thoughts and communicate them effectively.

Great video, congratulations! Actually, at school, many years ago, I was taught exactly what you say in this video: to speak clearly (or effectively), you have to think clearly. In order to do so, you need a theoretical framework to host your concepts. It could seem easy, but... It takes a lot of time and requires a lot of disciplined work. As far as I can see, not many people ever reach this level of maturity.
I love this because I already do it, but called it “thought trees”. Basic concepts, branching off into different applications, branching off into examples and potential, branching off into statistics and sources.
Another, closely-related, topic is what I've always been able to do. When someone explains something to me, and I know nothing about the topic nor recognize any terminology, I create a framework from what they explain overall. E.g. "Something large has 7 components, the first one works with the fifth one, the third one is related to the first one the seventh one is very unique and explains all the others to greater detail." Then I ask them about (or I discover them later) each component and what the terminology means. Each time I get that information, I'm able to populate the framework as if hanging placards on hooks on the framework, right where they should go, but I don't have to go back and ask to have the whole thing re-explained. When I understand something for the purpose of discussing it intelligently, I like to know the overall structure, and then the minute details. Once I know this, the rest falls into place, like a jar "full" of sand being filled further with water so that now it really is full.
Following you because of the simple fact that you have explained a very complex way of communicating with just one word, framework. Powerful! Continue to make more of these.
This is my first time watching Vicky's video (I saw it on my YT homepage). In the first 8 seconds, I paused the video and immediately checked to timestamps to get a glimpse of the content. Then, moved to the comments to speculate if this video is worth watching. A few moments later, I am writing this comment before even continuing to play the video because I want to say that Vicky is either a management consultant or a former consultant. To validate this hypothesis, I inspected her YT channel and instantly I saw her featured video on "Why I quit management consulting" which confirmed my assumption. The end. I just want to practice story-telling and actually watch videos lately about being articulate in speaking. Now let me continue to watch the video. hahah
Finished watching the video. Key takeaways: -Build a framework inventory. I usually have notes for frameworks that I deduce from books and courses but never organize them into a single file. -Create a story inventory. I got this idea from the first key takeaway. In fact, I'm adding my first story above into the story vault.
@@KAIZORIANEMPIRE high ram? naw, special? maybe... that or time and research... that is how I did it, ponder. Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!
This information is given in a $10K+ high-end course through the whole module from 4 modules total, so its equal to $2500 almost. Of course it was more lengthy and in detail, but that doesn't mean it explained better than here. Great work!
I am so happy to find your channel. I've always known that systems and frameworks are an advantage in nearly every aspect of speaking or generating ideas for a project. As an individual who struggles with ADD, frameworks are essential. Thank you.
Thanks for putting this out elegantly. I work in assurance and consulting for almost a decade now and find the framework-way-of-thinking very useful and impactful to my career.
I do this all my life. I was born this way. Like Elon Musk, I am a type architect (INTP). So a framework= a basic concept. Ampere x Volt =Watt. Very logic Flow x pressure = Amount. In Music, C minor= C major, which has stepped back a semitone in the middle (keeping it simple). In a story you have epic/lyric and drama. Epic is the narrative/storyline. Drama=dialogues and lyric=describing things more poetically. So distill everything back to basic concepts. You can fill in the details later. A human or animal is basically a tube: food comes in, goes out, adding oxygen, burn it slowly. Needs eyes and limbs to move itself to the food. Well, you get my drift.
Thank you. I had not come across the idea of framework thinking before. Reading your examples of your own framework thinking from the perspective of another INTP made this new concept click. I'm now able to frame my perspective which makes organising my thinking so much easier. E.g. Using your example of a story framework it was simple to create my own framework 'description' + 'new development description' = story Up until now I've always struggled to stay on track and tell an interesting story because I wasn't building on a framework. I.e. I never knew where to begin and finish. Now I have a framework to use to be sure I got my point across. It's great because I can scale it up i.e. add more detail to the description and/or development or scale it down just describe the bare bones of the description and/development. Also I can easily make a story more spicy/interesting by adding this to the both the description and development description 😅 I'm feeling so much more powerful and in charge of what I am saying 🎉❤ Thank you to both the creator of this video and the INFP commenter! Next. I just need to get faster and less clunky at applying this new knowledge and ability but I'm sure there is a system for that 😜😊
I collect models from across disciplines, and tweak them to suit my needs if they cover concepts of no relevance to my field or topic. I love visual models~ they really help me to unpack my thoughts on a topic, think it through in a different way etc
Hmm, this is interesting. I've been struggling with speech and general cognitive organization recently. It feels that I know so much, but I'm able to reproduce so little. I knew frameworks existed, but I never really paid attention to them - I would just assume that my mind would do it on its own. You've pointed out that it's not an automatic process - we've got to deliberately organize our thoughts and ideas (at least to start off). Thanks for sharing - this video has the potential to bring huge change
I always used this technique in exams and I think we all have used it unknowingly. When I have to write answers for a long question, it is impossible to mug up all the things. So what I do is to just remember the heading and subheading of each topic, like a flowchart, our teachers told us to do so. All now I have to do in exams is just expand those subheading or bullets or points or whatever you can call it. I always scored slightly higher than my friends using this technique🤓🤓, it also saved my time.

Hey great topic! I think most of us use frameworks due to different reasons: work, study... But the ones who develop more are curious people, and for a simple reason: we like to learn and distil the essence of topics. You then find frameworks, simplified models or abstractions of very different topics. If you study engineering and other applied science, you may find yourself equipped with usual frameworks and models of systems, and even better, how to create new ones. Anyway, a great topic, good to explore further. Please keep sharing your thoughts, or if you want to debate about it, let's do it!
This is what is often taught in universities. They are often called paradigms, structures or frameworks. That’s why we have certain general education class requirements in the first few years. The theory is that we can use a variety of different paradigms or lenses to interpret and discuss fact patterns in different topics, genres or practice areas. The difficulty with this kind of thought process is that it does not necessarily account for the creativity needed to interpret nuanced fact patterns and solve unique problems. Like Bruce Lee said-be like water. It can flow or it can crash. It fits any mold necessary. ~ It’s worth noting that Elon musk and other scientific minds tend to like this way of thinking because it is orderly and logical. But arts and the humanities might require more creativity.

@@CFthorinlol, how so? The statement is biologically correct. Hormones and their interactions with the brain influence brain and body development (keyword) from the womb to the tomb. Brains are not static.
Thank you. I've been doing this myself for a few years now, but I called it a "mosaic". It's a bit like unsupervised learning, where I detach myself from the information/ideas, identify patterns, connections, commonalities if there are. Slowly but surely, you have a tapestry of things. The bad/irrelevant ideas erode with time, leaving only the dense, crystalized scaffolding of the framework visible. There are many layers to this. "the only thing I know for certain is that I know nothing."
I already did this but didn't really have a name for it because I assumed everybody did. I created my own way of approaching people and so far it hasn't failed me. I always just connected topics in school to applications in real life and it was always easy. i never knew frameworks had names though. thank you for the video
Frameworks and paradigms are fine and useful for keeping conversations focused on the situation at hand, but thinking conceptually and from first principles is more important. Sometimes frameworks and paradigms trap people in ineffective focuses.
Absolutely! Articulation and quick thinking are skills anyone can develop with practice. I used to struggle with expressing my ideas clearly, especially in high-pressure situations. Thinking from first principles is such a game-changer! It's like having a mental toolkit ready for problem-solving. I recently explored this during the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x, where they emphasized the importance of storytelling in communication. Remember, the more you practice these frameworks, the more natural your responses will become, making every conversation an opportunity to shine!
This totally blew my mind. I think I've always been one to seek frameworks so I can organize my messy thoughts, but didn't know it. This video made that way of thinking more tangible so I now know exactly what I'm looking for. Great explanation and examples!
@VickyZhaoBEEAMP why did you assent that you gave an example for making your own framework when you didn't? Can you now take responsibility and give an actual example?
So basically, if you're knowledgeable on a subject, you're able to speak on it? This really is common sense. Most people (particularly in business) speak, work, and think about the same topics common to their work culture. Being knowledgeable (truly having knowledge with a history of application AND passion) you're then able to speak confidently and pull easily from that reservoir.
I was reading the comments and I think I came here for the similar reasons, while I absolutely appreciate how you related it to business, but I really would love to see you cover it more for a general audience. However, otherwise I got so much value from this video as someone who struggles with conversation, thank you :) I COMMENTED TOO SOON, IKIGAI! SUBSCRIBED!
I’m a fourth year law student and before I started my mum would always say lawyers speak slow. Well now my boyfriend says I talk slow😂 it’s because I am constantly thinking about how to respond to something in the most accurate way possible. I think more soft skills in this space would be confidence when speaking by being exposed to both writing and people who speak about the same things.
Love this story - and there is inherent confidence in those who speak with intent and care. I'm thinking of making a video on this actually! Stay tuned!

I never knew there were other mental model enthusiasts. I thank TH-cam for recommending me this video. Instantly subscribed. Can't wait to see through the rest of your content.
This is great. I wish i could work with other people toward a social organization like this... A shared index of models with people i trust... What a dream !
A channel about how to think and speak clearly.. I'm in!! I didn't know there were people who did this kind of content, and I'm happy TH-cam has recommended this channel to me.
Correct me if I'm wrong. So in plan language, frameworks are like guidance for thinking , problem solving or decision making. They are mental models, which is a representation or explanation of how something works. Frameworks are telling us what are the essentials structure, the rest are just details.
Close, I think frameworks get us a few steps closer to how humans process information. Information Processing Model suggests cognitive function is formulaic. By adhering to a framework, you are aligning your tendencies to how our brains are wired. An observational gap between those who apparently know exactly what to say and those who cant seem go articulate I believe stems from the general perception vs reality dissonance.
This is how I have thought for as long as I can remember. I also find that creating frameworks to organise my frameworks can be helpful. It’s not a silver bullet to always knowing what to say (unless you always say something related to the most surface-level frameworks), but it can be very helpful. I do like that principle of just starting at the surface when someone asks a question. They may be missing something that seems obvious to you if you think in frameworks. If they think it’s obvious too, then you can use it to establish common ground and get on the same page.
I solve this by creating a hierarchical framework in which I store nuances as children of the more basic frameworks. I find that the equations that describe natural processes tend to follow this structure naturally. Of course, they usually lack nuance, but there’s almost always a more nuanced equation at a deeper level.
Vicky, I stumbled across your video when looking for ways to improve and articulate my speech. Your content is outstanding and extremely useful. Thank you!
It's interesting seeing this described out. I've always felt like I've done this kind of thing since I was a child naturally. I think it was more that no one was able to break me of that habit that I was able to keep it and see good use of it. I wonder how much of this is not that we're not trained in it, but that we're trained out of it due to failed schooling models.
Thank you from a 48 ages woman from vietnam. Sorry for my bad english. Just want to express that what you say are exactly what i've self questioned long before. Since i"m kind of loosing/forgeting my point when i am among talking with others.
Your content is very good. One thought I have to offer has to do with SYNTAX: When people talk about HOW THEY CAN MAKE MORE MONEY… is the correct syntax model, not -When people talk about HOW CAN I MAKE MORE MONEY? -- where you introduce a direct question instead of indirect one. It shows that you don’t understand the function of “HOW” in indirect questions. We never posit a direct question in this way; “How I can get to the bus station?” We posit the question this way: “How CAN I get to the bus station.” This is a direct question.

Definitely interested in delving deeply into frameworks. When I was ~5 I realized there was very little I knew for certain. I decided to develop a foundation of knowledge that I can trust, and build upon that reliable foundation. Throughout my life I continued that effort. This provided a high degree of understanding and confidence about many subjects, philosophies and perspectives. Frameworks is similar and equally universally applicable. Love the concept.
Really love your ideas on storytelling. The frameworks for ethos, pathos and logos make a lot of sense for a place to start. Love how you shot and edited this video as well, it looks really great!
As a writer and orator, these words you and she are using are simply called WRITING. Because Americans are not taught how to Write Well as a System and a Structure, that is to say by Rules and Style, we don't learn how to Speak. And so on.

Your video popped up on my feed probably because it matches my interest and search. However, I was really drawn by your videos and I was quite impressed. Well done!
So basically, you'd need to get educated and acquired knowledge in the field of area you want to be good at... in order to talk smart. This is common sense, right?
You can be brilliant in your area of expertise and still not talk very smart. Trust me. I’ve seen it for many years. On the contrary, you can know very little and still have intelligent interactions when you learn to think in frameworks.
Thank you for this video! I love reading, and it has transformed me into a more informed human being, but everytime I want to talk about a topic, I feel like my brain is numb, tongue is mute, and i feel like the biggest idiot. Now I know I just need to sort my facts and build them into a framework that my brain can access any time.
Thank you Vicky. Invaluable information about a framework for frameworks. I often struggle to juggle information between different high level topics. I’m going to give a this a shot and build myself a collection of structured frameworks to organize myself!
Your video’s just appeared in my recommendations. This was really brilliantly done. You are incredibly smart in a way that few of us are. I want to teach this to everyone I have to listen to. And I subscribed.
I love this!!! FInally someone gets what I've been telling my coaches! I need frameworks so I can be mor eefficient and stop squirreling and teach me how to create my own! Thank you. Subscribed and can't wait to learn more from you. I'm consuming your content on a sunday morning
Great episode, Vicky! I think, reading might help a lot, too, with the conversation part. Not specialised literature only, but sci-fi, fantasy - anything that makes your mind free and flexible. Just another tip ☺️
Hey I’m loving your channel. Mental models are so helpful and they’re something I’m always looking to use more. It was cool to hear about your story-telling marketing framework.
Frameworks are great when talking about things you know and understand. Unfortunately, if we’re constantly steering the conversation to what we want to talk about, where is the growth? Where is the connection? Conversations are all about relationships. This, to me, doesn’t seem like a healthy way of conversing, does it? Listening is a learned skill, and if you’re constantly thinking fast, instead of listening to the other person, relationships will be more challenging to have. As a certified Dating and Relationship Coach, I work very hard with singles who have a problem with connecting on dates because they’re so worried about what they’re going to say next and are uncomfortable with silences. I teach them how to truly listen with love and compassion before they respond in order to build rapport and get to know one another. Great topic on how to think and respond intellectually yet, there’s no need to have to respond quickly. Slowing down and taking your time can often have you come across as more confident and persuasive.
Thank you for producing this educational content. The internet needs this. Where would be a great place to begin learning more about Mental Models and Thinking Frameworks in an even more simplified form? Would you recommend any books? If so which ones?
There’s a gap in the market for this. I think Shane Parrish’s blog Farnam Street is a good resource, but I still want to make something more practical … let me know what you think of Shane’s work!
Great video! I truly understood how frameworks work practionally. I’m going to go back to my work place tomorrow after short vacation, so I’m confused about my various tasks in progress which I should remember and decide, because I’m trying to make good decision saperately. After watching this video, I’ll try my own framework. Thanks Vicky.
Thanks for sharing this. I just realised that this way of thinking isn’t naturally instilled for everyone, including me. I am an engineer, thus I always connect the dots into diagrams or mind-map in my mind. I shouldn’t take it for granted and think I’m born with this. It’s a skill that can be learned and trained. So anyone also can adopt it.
I love the way you put it. If we have it we don’t have to take it for granted, and if we’re not born with it, this is an invitation to explore and embody something new
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP I second Farrah comment. I struggle so much with organizing knowledge that I desire to share. Bc of your video I am now doing a deep dive into creating frameworks. I would love any content you may have around how to build your own frameworks.
@@ericchavo9702 Hey Eric! Thanks for sharing this! Got it, I'll plan one, stay tuned! Meanwhile, my fundamental frameworks playlist might help you speed up the deep dive :D th-cam.com/video/lcyHC9HLTzc/w-d-xo.html
Thomas Sowell has been demonstrating this, and so much more, for half a century. His books contain wisdom that far exceeds parroting the talking points expressed here
Thank you, this is very useful for TH-cam as well. 🙌 I've been struggling (for years) with scripting & blogging. Because I have soooo much to say. Hope this will help me to finally script around the 10 min mark. Instead of 30+ min... 😅
Haha that struggle is too real!! Friends still tell me I need to get my videos down to even more bite sized packets haha.. 😂 I’m working on maybe 4-5 mins videos now
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP Oh dear, sounds like it's part of the job... Haha. Thanks! 😅 I will try varying lengths next then. Maybe more mini tutorials, series AND longer lectures. I guess it also depends on audience expectations: Are they looking for a quick answer (to fix something small) or do they want to sit down to fully submerge (go more in depth)? Haha 🤔😇
To summarize, how to react quickly in professional discussions? - know about the factors that impact the concept, to be able to talk about it. For example, "Oh my gosh, important client Chloe will talk about revenue with me, how do I not blow it? - Price and units are the factors that impact revenue, I can talk about them.
The timing is perfect. I'm just going into a pay negotiation with one of my staff and the first principle of revenue= units *price just gave me the perfect framework to handle this awkward conversation. This video links nicely with your 6 mental models of Charlie Munger video
Most people are not taught to synthesize information explicitly. Confident conversationalists are doing more than memorizing facts or frameworks. They see how multiple concepts are connected. The first ingredient is intentionality. You have to want to understand AND simultaneously be aware that knowledge is also about unlearning.
Hello I happened on to your channel by accident. I was looking for a MASH episode and this is what came up somehow. I am greatful for your video and will send it to my grand kids as it's got all kinds of nuggets of wisdom. Thank you!
Thanks for helping me figure out that I need to think more structured. Frameworks are something I never thought about and they definitely don’t reach that in school 😅 thanks a million
I'm a software engineer, and I feel like this how we strive to engage with problem solving on a daily basis. Building good software involves analyzing a domain, noticing the kinds of relationships (frameworks) that make up that specific domain, then attempting to express those frameworks in way that computer will understand and be able to process efficiently and effectively. I used the identification and understanding of frameworks as a way of ensuring that I understand lecture topics, as well as a strong revision technique. This is why I believe everyone needs to learn how to code. We cant all start a degree in civil engineering but we can try watch a few tutorials on TH-cam about data structures and algorithms. The only drawback I have seen from thinking like this, is that you start to easily forgot loose information. This must be because you stop training that random access mental muscle. But I'm not that bothered, by this, I think Google reminders and Google search really solve that problem 😂
As an undergraduate software engineer, I strongly agree. I remember the first time we learned OOP, our lecturer threw a bunch of isolated facts that made us difficult to understand the concept. I tried to memorize them all for the exam only. But when I develop real-life software, I'm caught in the aha moment, "Oh, that's why those concepts exist!". Now, I can't change the way those lecturers taught me, but I totally can teach myself to learn new technical things faster and more effectively.
I think frameworks can be very useful when you are in interviews. It is a way to express your knowledge quickly. However, when you need to create rapport with your stakeholders might be necessary to get more details about your explanation or thoughts.
It's very useful. I think and talk complicated where there seems to be no direction. For me I'm telling all the details, but the listener (esp boss) hardly caught what we were really talking about. First time to know about FRAMEWORK

there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal
You know who also are masters of this?
Freestyle battle rappers.
The ability to create rhymes off the top of your head vs an opponent.
Also stand up comedians, who do improv or comedic roasters that observationalist comedy,meaning they can crack on your shoes,clothes,hair etc etc.
They seem to tap into this flow while battling each other.Look up a guy named Kraig Smith the roaster He does frame thinking at a genius level.
So basically it comes down to knowing your topic in depth while also having it cooked down to its very essence. I find this to be true to for myself. Good insight!

It requires a lot of knowledge and abstraction capacity in order to learn about it and take the framework.
Not suitable for superficial and conformists.
How? Can you give an example as her explanation failed hard. She didn't give structure
it depends on the topic. People can be fluent in some areas and then struggle or completely avoid any other topics in order to look good all the time. Even the most fluent fast thinkers can struggle speaking if they don't know what are they talking about or have limited knowledge and experience. Problem is when people have knowledge and experience but still struggle talking about what they want to say. This is usually because they struggle speaking on other topics and carried the assumption that they are bad at talking about anything.

Bless you
Thank you for this video! Very helpful.
When I was young I was inarticulate and "slow" or completely withdrawn in conversations. I spent my 20's reading books on communication, psychology, spirituality, dating, etc. I took rigorous notes because I was desperate to become a more full version of myself. Now in my 30's I'm proud to say when I'm in conversation with people my mind is very open and active.
I didn't have the terminology of "frameworks" but this video well demonstrates what I feel is going on inside my head. I love listening to people and watching the various internal frameworks link together and create connections. After years of this kind of study and practice it has become very strong and now almost intuitional, when I listen to people my mind delivers thoughts from these frameworks so quickly at times it's overwhelming but in a grandeur way like driving through a breath-taking mountain scape or something.
Anyway thank you for putting language to this and for providing the examples. I subscribed and will listen to more of your voicings
1. steer don't follow. take back control to steer convo.
2. framework thinking, have library of frameworks to talk about. ex revenue=units soldxprice
3. profit=revenue- cost
4. put your knowledge, short, organize them into frameworks.
5. create
6. credibility, emotions, logic = ethos, pathos, logos
7. what you love, good at, can be paid for, the world needs (4 levers ikegai) apply to topic (ex: how to make $ doing what you
She is not talking about profit per se, ikegai per se, or pathos logos ethos per se, what she is talking about is finding broader categories and work from there as opposed to finding isolated details or facts
Doesn’t capture the main points of her speech. Some of the things you list out here are examples for the actual main points.
I used to struggle finding things to say when I was younger and when I started working in NYC in my early 20s I would be constantly pressed to have an answer for something, I don’t know exactly what happened but I started getting good at talking about things on the fly, after watching this video this is exactly what happened, you just understand the general idea or the essence of something and talk / evolve off of this. Not being able to find the words for something was when I was trying to get a specific answer
You've seen and experienced so much more. Kids know very little
A way of thinking to come out of the details and bring it back to the "bigger" picture or hopefully first principles!

“Off of”? Do people really still use this irritating double-preposition construct?
So how did you get the general idea or essence?
I started out liking this, but as a composition and rhetoric teacher, I immediately began to think that when we increase speed, we lose context and nuance. Frameworks seem to take incredibly complex issues and boil them down into very simplistic (and limited) interpretations that restrict options and conversations rather than open them up. We also sacrifice our ability to listen effectively. We’re so busy trying to rush and be perceived a certain way that we aren’t really hearing what the other person is saying, and they may be saying good stuff that we can learn from.
Exactly what I was thinking throughout the video (halfway actually). Think outside the box. Someone who's good at talking or replying back fast doesn't necessarily means they're smarter.
yes exactly this
"5 signs you’re in love"
"3 red flags that means it’s time to quit your job"
So clickbait-y listicles are useful frameworks now?
While we can get stuck in a framework and overthink in misdirected ways, we all work with frameworks, whether you realize it or not. Many frameworks are developed organically, cognitive constructs learned naturally through everyday experiences. Intentionally digesting and reasoning through the frameworks we use increases efficiency and normalcy, which both improve communication. Being able to identify fitted frameworks and being able to break frame is important.
When operating naturally, this doesn't restrict conversations, but the frameworks express a relational model that flows intuitively and only get stuck at dead ends when your understanding doesn't match with what's being communicated. It helps you to recognize when you really don't understand what others are saying. When they address something and use it in a way that's not consistent with your best matched framework, that indicates you need to inquire of them the framework and information they're using at that point to be able to reach understanding, or scan the related frameworks for some preloaded fault in that vicinity.
One question!! I'm really interested in learning about composition and rhetoric, what advice or books would you recommend for ms?
in brief:
In this video, the presenter, Vicki, explains how to think fast before speaking by using frameworks. Frameworks are structures that organize thoughts and help identify key elements that influence a result. The video discusses the importance of reasoning from first principles, using examples of revenue and profit frameworks in a business context.
Vicki suggests two ways to acquire frameworks:
1-Create them yourself by distilling the essence of your knowledge into structures.
2-Find hidden frameworks on the internet by extracting the key elements from existing information and organizing it into frameworks.
She gives examples of frameworks like Ikigai (making money doing what you love) and Ethos, Pathos, and Logos (business storytelling). By building a library of frameworks and connecting them together, one can think fast on their feet and provide insightful responses to a variety of topics.

Quick summ: Use relatable models from other places to break down a complex topic.
Concepts transfer over, even from different fields. Everything has a beginning, middle, and end (stories, how-to instructions, workout routines, etc.). An algorithm for a small computer program is comparable to a recipe (ingredients -> variables, steps -> lines). The first step to solve _________ problem is to first identify the problem. All this dot-connecting can go on and on.
Speaking of which, the ikigai model looks very useful in the biz world and it would not be a surprise to see it come up again, especially after watching this.
I'm glad that this framework thinking is addressed in this vid. Thank you for bringing it to light!
I'm 35 years old and have been reading charlie munger, farnam street, James Clear and others like it for over a decade. If I'm being honest I often worry that the person across the table isn't considering enough variables if they oversimplify complex subjects when discussing strategy and/or how to move forward on a project, whatever the project may be. While I may be right sometimes, watching your video really helped me break what I consider to be some calcification in the way I view things. We cannot make perfect decisions, but constricting variables into frameworks as best as we can can at least help us initiate feedback loops in a more quantifiable way that will help us get better at getting s#!% done. Great video, thank you.
it's not about arriving at the right answer, it is about setting the person across the table back on their heels. if you are thinking about "variables" then frameworks aren't for you. try to think more in terms of FLY-SWATTERS. and aim for their forehead. hope that helps!
This video covers situations that occur in critical meetings. It’s for people like myself who can get easily flustered when the meeting is going in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons. It’s a great way to be prepared for a meeting and help redirect without becoming the negative stick in the mud.
This video taught me a lot. It could also be called, talk in frameworks.
I used to feel bad when I got confused in conversations. I saw some famous people just say the same stories over and over. So I decided to make my own answers that I can use anytime, anywhere. My best one is "I don’t know enough to have a good opinion."😂
My main problem is when I get excited I forget all about frameworks and just blurt out whatever I think.

(Wilber starts to do this with Good True Beautiful, but fails by asserting 4 categories from those 3.)
Here is a simple framework you can use to think fast before you speak:
Identify your goal: What do you want to accomplish through your communication?
Consider your audience: Who are you speaking to and what do they need or want to know?
Gather information: What information do you need to present in order to achieve your goal and meet the needs of your audience?
Organize your thoughts: How can you structure your information in a way that is clear and logical?
Practice: If possible, practice what you will say in advance to help you feel more confident and prepared.
Using this framework can help you quickly and effectively organize your thoughts and communicate them effectively.
Thank you for sharing this one!

Great video, congratulations! Actually, at school, many years ago, I was taught exactly what you say in this video: to speak clearly (or effectively), you have to think clearly. In order to do so, you need a theoretical framework to host your concepts. It could seem easy, but... It takes a lot of time and requires a lot of disciplined work. As far as I can see, not many people ever reach this level of maturity.
I love this because I already do it, but called it “thought trees”. Basic concepts, branching off into different applications, branching off into examples and potential, branching off into statistics and sources.
Sounds like a mind map :)
yoo i love that! thank you!
Another, closely-related, topic is what I've always been able to do. When someone explains something to me, and I know nothing about the topic nor recognize any terminology, I create a framework from what they explain overall. E.g. "Something large has 7 components, the first one works with the fifth one, the third one is related to the first one the seventh one is very unique and explains all the others to greater detail." Then I ask them about (or I discover them later) each component and what the terminology means. Each time I get that information, I'm able to populate the framework as if hanging placards on hooks on the framework, right where they should go, but I don't have to go back and ask to have the whole thing re-explained.
When I understand something for the purpose of discussing it intelligently, I like to know the overall structure, and then the minute details. Once I know this, the rest falls into place, like a jar "full" of sand being filled further with water so that now it really is full.
Following you because of the simple fact that you have explained a very complex way of communicating with just one word, framework. Powerful! Continue to make more of these.
Thank you for the support and will keep on making these! See you around the channel :)
She didn't actually
With frameworks, one can build a structured conversation/discussion. Like to learn more about this approach.
Hi Vicky, great content. This is definitely an youtube's hidden gem.
Keep up the good work and I'm sure the audience will build up
Really appreciate it Filipe!!
This is my first time watching Vicky's video (I saw it on my YT homepage). In the first 8 seconds, I paused the video and immediately checked to timestamps to get a glimpse of the content. Then, moved to the comments to speculate if this video is worth watching.
A few moments later, I am writing this comment before even continuing to play the video because I want to say that Vicky is either a management consultant or a former consultant. To validate this hypothesis, I inspected her YT channel and instantly I saw her featured video on "Why I quit management consulting" which confirmed my assumption.
The end. I just want to practice story-telling and actually watch videos lately about being articulate in speaking. Now let me continue to watch the video. hahah
Finished watching the video. Key takeaways:
-Build a framework inventory. I usually have notes for frameworks that I deduce from books and courses but never organize them into a single file.
-Create a story inventory. I got this idea from the first key takeaway. In fact, I'm adding my first story above into the story vault.

I am so happy to find your channel. I've always known that systems and frameworks are an advantage in nearly every aspect of speaking or generating ideas for a project. As an individual who struggles with ADD, frameworks are essential. Thank you.
Glad this video worked for you!!!
Thanks for putting this out elegantly. I work in assurance and consulting for almost a decade now and find the framework-way-of-thinking very useful and impactful to my career.
I do this all my life. I was born this way. Like Elon Musk, I am a type architect (INTP). So a framework= a basic concept. Ampere x Volt =Watt. Very logic Flow x pressure = Amount.
In Music, C minor= C major, which has stepped back a semitone in the middle (keeping it simple).
In a story you have epic/lyric and drama. Epic is the narrative/storyline. Drama=dialogues and lyric=describing things more poetically. So distill everything back to basic concepts.
You can fill in the details later. A human or animal is basically a tube: food comes in, goes out, adding oxygen, burn it slowly. Needs eyes and limbs to move itself to the food.
Well, you get my drift.
Thank you. I had not come across the idea of framework thinking before. Reading your examples of your own framework thinking from the perspective of another INTP made this new concept click. I'm now able to frame my perspective which makes organising my thinking so much easier.
E.g. Using your example of a story framework it was simple to create my own framework 'description' + 'new development description' = story
Up until now I've always struggled to stay on track and tell an interesting story because I wasn't building on a framework. I.e. I never knew where to begin and finish. Now I have a framework to use to be sure I got my point across. It's great because I can scale it up i.e. add more detail to the description and/or development or scale it down just describe the bare bones of the description and/development. Also I can easily make a story more spicy/interesting by adding this to the both the description and development description 😅
I'm feeling so much more powerful and in charge of what I am saying 🎉❤
Thank you to both the creator of this video and the INFP commenter!
Next. I just need to get faster and less clunky at applying this new knowledge and ability but I'm sure there is a system for that 😜😊
I've never thought of myself as a tube before!🤣🤣
Arquitecht is INTJ
I collect models from across disciplines, and tweak them to suit my needs if they cover concepts of no relevance to my field or topic. I love visual models~ they really help me to unpack my thoughts on a topic, think it through in a different way etc
Care to share some with me, please?
Hmm, this is interesting. I've been struggling with speech and general cognitive organization recently. It feels that I know so much, but I'm able to reproduce so little. I knew frameworks existed, but I never really paid attention to them - I would just assume that my mind would do it on its own. You've pointed out that it's not an automatic process - we've got to deliberately organize our thoughts and ideas (at least to start off). Thanks for sharing - this video has the potential to bring huge change
Consider Vitamin B complex and read and listen to the Quran for healing.
I always used this technique in exams and I think we all have used it unknowingly. When I have to write answers for a long question, it is impossible to mug up all the things. So what I do is to just remember the heading and subheading of each topic, like a flowchart, our teachers told us to do so. All now I have to do in exams is just expand those subheading or bullets or points or whatever you can call it. I always scored slightly higher than my friends using this technique🤓🤓, it also saved my time.
Hey great topic! I think most of us use frameworks due to different reasons: work, study... But the ones who develop more are curious people, and for a simple reason: we like to learn and distil the essence of topics. You then find frameworks, simplified models or abstractions of very different topics. If you study engineering and other applied science, you may find yourself equipped with usual frameworks and models of systems, and even better, how to create new ones. Anyway, a great topic, good to explore further. Please keep sharing your thoughts, or if you want to debate about it, let's do it!
This is what is often taught in universities. They are often called paradigms, structures or frameworks. That’s why we have certain general education class requirements in the first few years. The theory is that we can use a variety of different paradigms or lenses to interpret and discuss fact patterns in different topics, genres or practice areas. The difficulty with this kind of thought process is that it does not necessarily account for the creativity needed to interpret nuanced fact patterns and solve unique problems. Like Bruce Lee said-be like water. It can flow or it can crash. It fits any mold necessary. ~ It’s worth noting that Elon musk and other scientific minds tend to like this way of thinking because it is orderly and logical. But arts and the humanities might require more creativity.

Thank you. I've been doing this myself for a few years now, but I called it a "mosaic". It's a bit like unsupervised learning, where I detach myself from the information/ideas, identify patterns, connections, commonalities if there are. Slowly but surely, you have a tapestry of things. The bad/irrelevant ideas erode with time, leaving only the dense, crystalized scaffolding of the framework visible. There are many layers to this. "the only thing I know for certain is that I know nothing."
Yes to all this. So glad to meet you through these videos. Thank you for watching and sharing!!

I already did this but didn't really have a name for it because I assumed everybody did. I created my own way of approaching people and so far it hasn't failed me. I always just connected topics in school to applications in real life and it was always easy. i never knew frameworks had names though. thank you for the video
How do you make your own framework? She didn't explain that part
Frameworks and paradigms are fine and useful for keeping conversations focused on the situation at hand, but thinking conceptually and from first principles is more important. Sometimes frameworks and paradigms trap people in ineffective focuses.
🤔
lol troll
Absolutely! Articulation and quick thinking are skills anyone can develop with practice. I used to struggle with expressing my ideas clearly, especially in high-pressure situations.
Thinking from first principles is such a game-changer! It's like having a mental toolkit ready for problem-solving. I recently explored this during the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x, where they emphasized the importance of storytelling in communication. Remember, the more you practice these frameworks, the more natural your responses will become, making every conversation an opportunity to shine!
This totally blew my mind. I think I've always been one to seek frameworks so I can organize my messy thoughts, but didn't know it. This video made that way of thinking more tangible so I now know exactly what I'm looking for. Great explanation and examples!
Glad you liked this and so glad it's made the idea more tangible! Keep me posted on how you go!
What example? She didn't explain how to make your own
@VickyZhaoBEEAMP why did you assent that you gave an example for making your own framework when you didn't? Can you now take responsibility and give an actual example?
So basically, if you're knowledgeable on a subject, you're able to speak on it? This really is common sense. Most people (particularly in business) speak, work, and think about the same topics common to their work culture. Being knowledgeable (truly having knowledge with a history of application AND passion) you're then able to speak confidently and pull easily from that reservoir.
I was reading the comments and I think I came here for the similar reasons, while I absolutely appreciate how you related it to business, but I really would love to see you cover it more for a general audience. However, otherwise I got so much value from this video as someone who struggles with conversation, thank you :) I COMMENTED TOO SOON, IKIGAI! SUBSCRIBED!
I’m a fourth year law student and before I started my mum would always say lawyers speak slow. Well now my boyfriend says I talk slow😂 it’s because I am constantly thinking about how to respond to something in the most accurate way possible.

I constantly Struggle with the same issue so you're not alone
Love this story - and there is inherent confidence in those who speak with intent and care. I'm thinking of making a video on this actually! Stay tuned!

Ethical Frameworks: A set of frameworks that provide guidelines for making ethical decisions, including utilitarianism, deontological ethics, virtue ethics, and care ethics.
Wow thanks for this. By the way, are you a logician? 🤔
My lord. Your video is totally eye-opening. I've just found out something about my mind that I was never aware of before. You rock!
I never knew there were other mental model enthusiasts. I thank TH-cam for recommending me this video. Instantly subscribed. Can't wait to see through the rest of your content.
Hehe thank you algorithm for connecting us! Join the discord :)
Thinking in framework helped me very much, I watched your video 3 weeks ago and I applied it for 7 times, very helpful ❤🎉
This is great. I wish i could work with other people toward a social organization like this... A shared index of models with people i trust... What a dream !
Good to see you here!
A channel about how to think and speak clearly.. I'm in!! I didn't know there were people who did this kind of content, and I'm happy TH-cam has recommended this channel to me.
Correct me if I'm wrong. So in plan language, frameworks are like guidance for thinking , problem solving or decision making. They are mental models, which is a representation or explanation of how something works. Frameworks are telling us what are the essentials structure, the rest are just details.
Close, I think frameworks get us a few steps closer to how humans process information. Information Processing Model suggests cognitive function is formulaic. By adhering to a framework, you are aligning your tendencies to how
our brains are wired. An observational gap between those who apparently know exactly what to say and those who cant seem go articulate I believe stems from the general perception vs reality dissonance.
This is how I have thought for as long as I can remember. I also find that creating frameworks to organise my frameworks can be helpful. It’s not a silver bullet to always knowing what to say (unless you always say something related to the most surface-level frameworks), but it can be very helpful. I do like that principle of just starting at the surface when someone asks a question. They may be missing something that seems obvious to you if you think in frameworks. If they think it’s obvious too, then you can use it to establish common ground and get on the same page.
I solve this by creating a hierarchical framework in which I store nuances as children of the more basic frameworks. I find that the equations that describe natural processes tend to follow this structure naturally. Of course, they usually lack nuance, but there’s almost always a more nuanced equation at a deeper level.
Best and most authentic content creator on TH-cam ! Excellent work thank you 👏🏾
Thank you for saying so 🙏 this means the world
Same with knowing who to talk to, we have to have a vision and regularly check that the conversation aligns with the pillars of social benefit
Vicky, I stumbled across your video when looking for ways to improve and articulate my speech. Your content is outstanding and extremely useful. Thank you!
Glad you like the content Michael!! Let me know if there are other topics you want me to cover!
I love how clear and concise your explanations are!
It's interesting seeing this described out. I've always felt like I've done this kind of thing since I was a child naturally. I think it was more that no one was able to break me of that habit that I was able to keep it and see good use of it. I wonder how much of this is not that we're not trained in it, but that we're trained out of it due to failed schooling models.
Thank you from a 48 ages woman from vietnam. Sorry for my bad english. Just want to express that what you say are exactly what i've self questioned long before. Since i"m kind of loosing/forgeting my point when i am among talking with others.
Aww thank you for the message and for saying so. It’s only normal since we don’t start with those frameworks. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Discovered your video and really enjoyed your thoughts. Speaking or responding using a framework is super powerful!
Your content is very good. One thought I have to offer has to do with SYNTAX: When people talk about HOW THEY CAN MAKE MORE MONEY… is the correct syntax model, not -When people talk about HOW CAN I MAKE MORE MONEY? -- where you introduce a direct question instead of indirect one. It shows that you don’t understand the function of “HOW” in indirect questions. We never posit a direct question in this way; “How I can get to the bus station?” We posit the question this way: “How CAN I get to the bus station.” This is a direct question.
Loved the video, Vicky. It was what I needed, and confirmed my own observations. It's great to have validation.
It’s high IQ. Applying the scientific method, the fundamentals of logic etc. there’s a reason behind everything. also, make and female brains are inverted, eg content information first vs feelings context how you said it
Listening to Vicky= success + skils
Definitely interested in delving deeply into frameworks.
When I was ~5 I realized there was very little I knew for certain.
I decided to develop a foundation of knowledge that I can trust, and build upon that reliable foundation.
Throughout my life I continued that effort. This provided a high degree of understanding and confidence about many subjects, philosophies and perspectives.
Frameworks is similar and equally universally applicable. Love the concept.
Children are taught this in school when writing letters or topics but should be encouraged when engaging in conversation too.
Really love your ideas on storytelling. The frameworks for ethos, pathos and logos make a lot of sense for a place to start. Love how you shot and edited this video as well, it looks really great!
Thank you Matt!!! Editing takes so long though. Trying to find more efficient ways to get videos edited haha. Any tips?!
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP Outsource! Tell them what you want and they'll do it much quicker! Finding a good contractor - this is a real question.
As a writer and orator, these words you and she are using are simply called WRITING. Because Americans are not taught how to Write Well as a System and a Structure, that is to say by Rules and Style, we don't learn how to Speak. And so on.
It’s honestly wild how no one is talking about Whispers of Manifestation on Borlest. This book is next-level.
Wow! This opened up something inside me. Thank you Vicky! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for watching!!

Your video popped up on my feed probably because it matches my interest and search. However, I was really drawn by your videos and I was quite impressed. Well done!
So basically, you'd need to get educated and acquired knowledge in the field of area you want to be good at... in order to talk smart. This is common sense, right?
You can be brilliant in your area of expertise and still not talk very smart. Trust me. I’ve seen it for many years. On the contrary, you can know very little and still have intelligent interactions when you learn to think in frameworks.
Thank you for this video! I love reading, and it has transformed me into a more informed human being, but everytime I want to talk about a topic, I feel like my brain is numb, tongue is mute, and i feel like the biggest idiot. Now I know I just need to sort my facts and build them into a framework that my brain can access any time.
Thank you Vicky. Invaluable information about a framework for frameworks. I often struggle to juggle information between different high level topics. I’m going to give a this a shot and build myself a collection of structured frameworks to organize myself!
Yesss 🙌 please keep me posted on how you go with this Pratik!
How is it going?
This is what I'm used to doing, it's nice to finally put a name to the process
Your video’s just appeared in my recommendations. This was really brilliantly done. You are incredibly smart in a way that few of us are. I want to teach this to everyone I have to listen to. And I subscribed.
I love this!!! FInally someone gets what I've been telling my coaches! I need frameworks so I can be mor eefficient and stop squirreling and teach me how to create my own! Thank you. Subscribed and can't wait to learn more from you. I'm consuming your content on a sunday morning
I really love watching your videos because I find this helpful. Looking forward to watching more. Thank you for your contents.
Thank you Mario for watching and sharing this with me :D see you around in the comments section hehe 🙃
Oh my God...Tyler you did it again. Thank you so much for this reading, especially the last part about not giving up. I needed to hear it.
Great episode, Vicky! I think, reading might help a lot, too, with the conversation part. Not specialised literature only, but sci-fi, fantasy - anything that makes your mind free and flexible. Just another tip ☺️
Nice! Works perfectly to add details to frameworks
Building your own library of frameworks sums up Obsidian's Goals! Love it! Thanks Miss Vicky!
Hey I’m loving your channel. Mental models are so helpful and they’re something I’m always looking to use more.
It was cool to hear about your story-telling marketing framework.
Frameworks are great when talking about things you know and understand. Unfortunately, if we’re constantly steering the conversation to what we want to talk about, where is the growth? Where is the connection? Conversations are all about relationships. This, to me, doesn’t seem like a healthy way of conversing, does it?
Listening is a learned skill, and if you’re constantly thinking fast, instead of listening to the other person, relationships will be more challenging to have. As a certified Dating and Relationship Coach, I work very hard with singles who have a problem with connecting on dates because they’re so worried about what they’re going to say next and are uncomfortable with silences. I teach them how to truly listen with love and compassion before they respond in order to build rapport and get to know one another. Great topic on how to think and respond intellectually yet, there’s no need to have to respond quickly. Slowing down and taking your time can often have you come across as more confident and persuasive.
Thank you for producing this educational content. The internet needs this. Where would be a great place to begin learning more about Mental Models and Thinking Frameworks in an even more simplified form? Would you recommend any books? If so which ones?
There’s a gap in the market for this. I think Shane Parrish’s blog Farnam Street is a good resource, but I still want to make something more practical … let me know what you think of Shane’s work!
Great video! I truly understood how frameworks work practionally. I’m going to go back to my work place tomorrow after short vacation, so I’m confused about my various tasks in progress which I should remember and decide, because I’m trying to make good decision saperately. After watching this video, I’ll try my own framework. Thanks Vicky.
This was very helpful! This video made me feel very confident knowing that it was this simple! Love the insights !
Love this can share a dose of confidence with you :)
Thanks for sharing this. I just realised that this way of thinking isn’t naturally instilled for everyone, including me. I am an engineer, thus I always connect the dots into diagrams or mind-map in my mind. I shouldn’t take it for granted and think I’m born with this. It’s a skill that can be learned and trained. So anyone also can adopt it.
I love the way you put it. If we have it we don’t have to take it for granted, and if we’re not born with it, this is an invitation to explore and embody something new
Thank you for watching and sharing!!
Hi thank you for this! Would love if you make a video with more practical examples of using these frameworks. But tqsm for the sharing.
Hey Farrah! Yeeeees will do. Thinking of starting a series dedicated to frameworks :) Will keep you posted in the next few weeks!
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP I second Farrah comment. I struggle so much with organizing knowledge that I desire to share. Bc of your video I am now doing a deep dive into creating frameworks. I would love any content you may have around how to build your own frameworks.
@@ericchavo9702 Hey Eric! Thanks for sharing this! Got it, I'll plan one, stay tuned!
Meanwhile, my fundamental frameworks playlist might help you speed up the deep dive :D th-cam.com/video/lcyHC9HLTzc/w-d-xo.html
Thomas Sowell has been demonstrating this, and so much more, for half a century. His books contain wisdom that far exceeds parroting the talking points expressed here
Thank you, this is very useful for TH-cam as well. 🙌 I've been struggling (for years) with scripting & blogging. Because I have soooo much to say. Hope this will help me to finally script around the 10 min mark. Instead of 30+ min... 😅
Haha that struggle is too real!! Friends still tell me I need to get my videos down to even more bite sized packets haha.. 😂 I’m working on maybe 4-5 mins videos now
@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP Oh dear, sounds like it's part of the job... Haha. Thanks! 😅 I will try varying lengths next then. Maybe more mini tutorials, series AND longer lectures. I guess it also depends on audience expectations: Are they looking for a quick answer (to fix something small) or do they want to sit down to fully submerge (go more in depth)? Haha 🤔😇
To summarize, how to react quickly in professional discussions? - know about the factors that impact the concept, to be able to talk about it. For example, "Oh my gosh, important client Chloe will talk about revenue with me, how do I not blow it? - Price and units are the factors that impact revenue, I can talk about them.
This is very insightful and helpful! Thanks for sharing and look forward to the next one:-)
Thank you Qian zheng 🙏🧡 glad you liked this!
The timing is perfect. I'm just going into a pay negotiation with one of my staff and the first principle of revenue= units *price just gave me the perfect framework to handle this awkward conversation.
This video links nicely with your 6 mental models of Charlie Munger video
Mind mapping is also effective! 😅
Most people are not taught to synthesize information explicitly. Confident conversationalists are doing more than memorizing facts or frameworks. They see how multiple concepts are connected. The first ingredient is intentionality. You have to want to understand AND simultaneously be aware that knowledge is also about unlearning.
if everyone is steering.. then who follow?
Hello I happened on to your channel by accident. I was looking for a MASH episode and this is what came up somehow. I am greatful for your video and will send it to my grand kids as it's got all kinds of nuggets of wisdom. Thank you!
LOL 😂 the algorithm knows. I’m so happy to hear this. More to come ❤️
I thought in frameworks since I was a kid...
It's still massively difficult to strategize well in any aspect of life though.
Hmmm what do you mean by strategize?
Thanks for helping me figure out that I need to think more structured. Frameworks are something I never thought about and they definitely don’t reach that in school 😅 thanks a million
I'm a software engineer, and I feel like this how we strive to engage with problem solving on a daily basis.
Building good software involves analyzing a domain, noticing the kinds of relationships (frameworks) that make up that specific domain, then attempting to express those frameworks in way that computer will understand and be able to process efficiently and effectively.
I used the identification and understanding of frameworks as a way of ensuring that I understand lecture topics, as well as a strong revision technique.
This is why I believe everyone needs to learn how to code. We cant all start a degree in civil engineering but we can try watch a few tutorials on TH-cam about data structures and algorithms.
The only drawback I have seen from thinking like this, is that you start to easily forgot loose information. This must be because you stop training that random access mental muscle. But I'm not that bothered, by this, I think Google reminders and Google search really solve that problem 😂
I like how you compared this to computer science. I think I'm going to follow this logic because it's so much easier for me to understand.
As an undergraduate software engineer, I strongly agree. I remember the first time we learned OOP, our lecturer threw a bunch of isolated facts that made us difficult to understand the concept. I tried to memorize them all for the exam only. But when I develop real-life software, I'm caught in the aha moment, "Oh, that's why those concepts exist!". Now, I can't change the way those lecturers taught me, but I totally can teach myself to learn new technical things faster and more effectively.
I think frameworks can be very useful when you are in interviews. It is a way to express your knowledge quickly.
However, when you need to create rapport with your stakeholders might be necessary to get more details about your explanation or thoughts.

This was the first video I saw on this channel, I'm so glad I found it. Great content!
When I saw "Framework Thinking", I thought this was a video about Java's Spring boot, Python's Django or something related. But I kinda like this one
It's very useful. I think and talk complicated where there seems to be no direction. For me I'm telling all the details, but the listener (esp boss) hardly caught what we were really talking about. First time to know about FRAMEWORK
