Every problem comes with a solution and an opportunity. However, every solution or opportunity manifests as a problem initially until it becomes apparent. Therefore, problem-solving skills are vital to leveraging the power of possibilities in personal and professional life.

Problem-solving is a universal skill. Everyone needs it, as no one lives without problems, whatever their position or circumstances are. The most common issues manifest in your jobs, health, finances, culture, and relationships.

Readers who found a recent story titled “10 Lifehacks Schools Couldn’t Teach Me showed interest in my problem-solving approach when experimenting to solve pressing issues and create solutions with new and original ideas.

It is a pleasure to share my approach by summarizing the key points, hoping it can benefit many people. Your success will delight me.

I have used many methods to solve problems in my professional and personal life. Some have hundreds of steps that are impossible to cover in an article. Besides, each method is bespoke and might not meet everyone’s needs.
