If you want something a bit more formal, see Turing Award winner Allen Newell's Bands of Cognition. He breaks things up into four major bands, namely biological (milliseconds), cognitive (seconds), rational (minutes to hours), and social (days to months). Each band requires different tools, as well as ways of thinking about and analyzing them. Here's an example diagram of it: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bruno-Emond/publication/44054231/figure/tbl1/AS:394344008830978@1471030346600/Newells-four-bands-of-cognition.png https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bruno-Emond/publication...
