Loose Notes Regarding Problem Solving

In no particular order:

• Rephrasing a question expedites the solution, since it implies a shift of approach to a problem. Rephrase often.
• Ignore barriers at the beginning, or shift the goals further up (aim higher). The objective is to always keep moving.
• Approach problems unbiased. Working a problem is easier when void of emotional attachment to it, or parts of it (this is hard, since it's not always possible).
• Tackle first the things that are the most fun to solve. There's less friction when working things we are naturally inclined to pick up. When enough momentum is gained, we flow faster through the more annoying bits.
