Start by clearly identifying the issue you’re facing. Don’t get bogged down in emotions. Be specific! Try and bring the problem down to its most simple form.
This is your chance to unleash your creativity! Think of as many solutions as possible, no matter how unusual they seem. List everything you think of, even if you think it won’t work. Don’t look at the steps you would have to take to do anything just yet.
Now, review your list of solutions and analyse if they would work for you. Consider the pros and cons of each option to decide which ones you will most likely be able to achieve.
Remember none of the solutions will be the perfect answer to your problem. Select the best (least worst) solution from the list below.
Your solutions will appear here once you add them.
What steps will you follow to carry out your solution?
It’s time to implement your chosen solution! Don’t be afraid to try different things; sometimes you find the best approach through trial and error.
Did your chosen solution work? Be honest with yourself about the outcome. If it didn’t work, don’t worry! Think about the problem again and change your solution as needed. Problem-solving often takes a few goes, and small positive changes will help you succeed in the end.
