Observation is a great skill you can develop, picking up many useful bits of information and facts in your daily life. With observation you will be able to make better estimated thoughts and decisions about certain matters.
All of us watch what goes on around us and our sub-conscious is always taking things in, however, many of us aren't observers and don't look or think in depth about things.
This is especially essential for a lot of careers, when studying or when having a debate. To process the information logically and derive at some well-thought conclusions, observation is key.
1. Deep thinking
Think about the things that are on your mind and things you're unsure about. Often applying a deep level of concentration and thought, a clear decision can be made.

It can also help you to avoid errors and blunders you may make concerning particular subjects.
2. Listening
Listening is one of the best means of observation. You can gather so many bits of information to make justified decisions and reduce the amount of regretful comments that may slip from your mouth.

A useful word of wisdom from proverbs says: be quick to listen and slow to speak.
3. Ask yourself questions
Before you ask someone a question about something you're unfamiliar with, try asking yourself the question(s), and try to come up with one or more conclusion(s).

Normally along-side point #1 (deep thinking), you can solve many questions you may have. This in turn will help with your observation because you're starting to make clear verdicts by yourself.
4. Photo/Picture analysis
This exercise is another good one for improving your observation. There are different ways you can go about doing photo/picture analysis; one would be to decide if a photo/picture is fake or real. You can find exercises on the Internet that do this.

A second suggestion is to dig out old photos of your own and analyse what's going on. Study expressions, backgrounds and anything else that you notice. If you have photos of people without everyone posing - the better. These usually provide a better challenge and can give more of a result.
A third one is one you may have played before and that is: spot the difference. A game that forces you to observe two identical pictures with little differences (I suppose making them not identical).
5. Chess
I've wrote about chess before and how it can improve concentration (naturally improving observation) amongst other things. If you would like to read more about this, click on the link: 10 Reasons why you should play chess.

6. Monitor people
Similar to point 4 (photo/picture analysis), but instead of studying snapshots of different settings, you'll be monitoring things in real time.
Study different people: consider where they might be going, their emotional state, body language, what they could be thinking about. It's another simple exercise you can implement to better your observation.
