How to turn problems into fun puzzles to solve

Obstacles are part of life. Things get in the way. Stuff happens. Life comes up!
We when get stuck, we often think it is because we can’t find the right answers to our problems. My experience is that we often get stuck and stay that way because we aren’t asking useful questions.

A problem put simply is an unanswered question, and most unanswered questions are unanswered because they are unasked.
We could all have better answers if we invested the time to design quality questions, and then actually allocated time to think about possible new solutions.

A quality question has two characteristics.
It always simplifies the problem and makes it solvable AND
Will always expand the number of possibilities available to solve the problem or improve the situation.

For example, a great way to start a problem-solving question is
“How might I…..?”.

Here is an easy two-step method to get unstuck and create better solutions to our problems —
A way to turn our problems into fun puzzles to solve!

Step 1. Ask quality questions daily.
Step 2. Allocate thinking time daily.

Thinking Time? Thinking Time is preparing a quality question before we sit down to think. Then, setting aside time to think about the new question we have developed and then taking action. Rinse and repeat on the daily.

“We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts, we make the world”.
