3 ingredients to solve any problem

3 ingredients to solve any problem

Hi, It's Arno. Had a couple things to work through yesterday. Business questions, business problems, future plans. Over the past 20 years I've basically tried every possible frame for brainstorming and problem solving. And there's one method that always works for me. You need only three things.

Hi,

It's Arno.

Had a couple things to work through yesterday. Business questions, business problems, future plans.

Over the past 20 years I've basically tried every possible frame for brainstorming and problem solving.

And there's one method that always works for me.

You need only three things.

1) Notebook + pen

2) A quiet place to sit

3) Glass of good red wine

(The third one is optional. But it does make the process more enjoyable for me)

I sit down, I write the problem at the top of the page and I just... think.

This has honestly never failed me. You just sit there and think, focusing your mind on the problem, forcing yourself to think creatively.

Humans are the most fearsome predator on this planet. You are the apex predator. We rule the Earth.

There is no problem a human being can not solve.

If you just laser-focus your mind you will be amazed at how easy you can solve things that have been annoying you forever.

45 minutes later I managed to come up with a couple fixes. Will be testing these in the next few weeks.

If they work -> great, I'll sit down and figure out how to make them work even better.

If they don't work -> great, I'll sit down and figure out what other solutions I can come up with.

Try it out. It's been serving me well for over 20 years.

Talk soon,

Arno

P.S. We're reworking some of our frontend offers at Prof Results. Will tell you about it when we finish the implementation of my ideas.
