Do you ever wait for motivation to hit you before you tackle a tough problem?
I've done that. I've waited for the right moment of motivation before starting to analyze what the problem is or before even defining the problem. The trouble with that is that the problem is getting larger the longer we wait.
We're in charge of our motivation. We create our own motivation. There's never any need to wait for motivation: just go.
Problem solving can't always wait for our interest or motivation.
Problem solving starts when the problem arises. Why wait?
