Why do we problem solve? To make life easier, right? What happens if you ignore your problem?
Let’s identify the six steps of personal problem solving.
- What is the problem? What is there is more than one problem? Identify it!
- What outside sources can you gather to help you to solve your problem?
- What solutions can you come up with included advantages and disadvantages.
- Choose a solution
- What do you have to do to get your plan in motion. What steps do you need to take?
- Looking back on your problem in the future, how did you do? Could you have done something different? How and why?
