There are problems all around us, every day we are faced with a multitude of opportunities for our brain to strategize, we just have to be able to recognize them for what they are. Household chores, for example. How do I solve the problem of my living room being a complete mess? I can problem solve where to put things so that they aren’t scattered about, alleviating the problem of clutter. I can organize drawers, fold clothing, run the vacuum, load the dishwasher, and even make the bed. All of these represent simple problems I can solve to give my brain some practice.
