When you problem solve!

It depends on the problem. Most of the time I just try to rationalize the problem before trying to solve it. I do ask myself a lot of questions if the problem is difficult. I also consult with trusted friends and family members and stepping away from it to get a new view. Sometimes staring at the same problem gives you the same solution that doesn't work so it helps. I don't have any specific questions I ask as it is always dependent on the problem.

I kind of have a system that I use to solve problems. It is kind of weird, cause what I do is I split the two sides of my brain up. Then between the two sides I ask a series of Dialectic and or Logical question's. Within asking these I seek to find a common truth to fix the problems. Then once I find the common truth I use it to fix the problem. Now if I cannot fix the problem myself, then I go to a friend that I can trust.

Hi halfbloodace. Depending on what the problem is of course i used to write it down on paper and then at the bottom of the page write down the result i wanted the problem to solve... in between i would write down all the ways that i could think of that would help solve the problem... I will give an example in a moment. Now though i used freemind, a free mind mapping tool that does the same thing but helps you to visualise things better. An exampple may be that you need to save for a trip.... so that would go to the top of the page if you are using pen and paper.... at the bottom would go the trip... now in between you would list all the things you could do to help you save for your trip... things like maybe sell anything around the house that you no longer need.. put a certain amount aside from your pay each week into a holiday fund account, doing odd jobs for family or friends for a small fee... anything you can think of that will get you from your problem of wanting the holiday to actually going on it... I hope this helps you a bit.
