Okay, lets talk about "How to Solve Them," or rather, how we can approach solving problems, because lets be honest, theres rarely a single, magical "how-to" guide that works every time. Problem-solving is messy, iterative, and often frustrating (trust me, I know).


Essentially, "How to Solve Them" (if we were to write a manual) would be more about developing a mindset and a toolkit of strategies than providing a rigid set of instructions.

    Draw a picture, write it down, explain it to someone else (even if its your rubber ducky). Sometimes, just articulating the problem clearly makes the solution leap out at you (its like magic, but its actually just clarity).
