The way that is usually associated with rationality/science as opposed to salience driven thinking(doing what comes to your mind).
Say you want to make a difficult decision a more systematic way would be to write down a list with all pros and cons. If thinking about a financial investment calculate the numbers of how much different possibilities will yield, etc...
The good old Benjamin Frankling method; the research on "reason based choice" which I've come across recently from Mercier and Sperber's paper suggests that it might lead to worse outcomes than going with your intuitive choice. (Attraction effect, sunk cost fallacy, etc.)
I read about the Benjamin method in Robyn Dawes "Rational Choice in an uncertain world" where it was promoted in a positive light. IIRC he also mentions than in certain choices the intuitive one might/will be better and I too read research that confirmed this. But, nevertheless, if you want to think systematically I guess it is good to write down all your options in the first place.
