The problem with problems is that you see the problem in the centre of your field of vision, and can’t see a way around it, because that’s all you see. So step back. Take one, two, three giant steps back to get some perspective. Look around the edges, peer towards – or at least accept that there may be – something on the other side of the problem. Talk to your friends about the problem; see if you can explain it in context. Break it down to it’s component parts.
Take another one, two, three giant steps sideways, to a whiteboard. Plan around the problem. How would you deal with it, specifically. What’s the plan, broken down into the very next steps and the milestones out front?
