16 Tips For Problem Solving

To this day, I think the best way to approach and solve any problems in your life is to look at them objectively and practically. More so, I feel running through something like a formula or system works really well to get things solved.

Use Parkinson’s Law. This law says that a task will expand in time and seeming complexity depending on the time you set aside for it.

Combine this law with the 80/20 rule to find solutions quickly. Focus your time on finding solutions.
