Do you ever find yourself midway through solving a problem and wondering why you are bothering with that problem?
Or, do you ever think you've solved a problem only to discover it was just a symptom of a bigger problem?
Before solving a problem it helps to focus on what we really want.
What's the goal?
I like to reframe each problem into a goal-statement so that the work becomes positive: we work on what we want to achieve, rather than what we seek to avoid.
It makes a difference. It's much easier to stay centered with a goal in mind, and it's much easier to keep that goal in mind when we stay centered.
What problem can you convert into a positive goal?
