Status Updates From Problem Solving 101: A Simp...

It really helps me a lot. So far so great!

step 1: learn to build logic trees for your problems and make sure to include as many branches as possible.

People often fall into the trap of collecting information and conducting analyses just for the sake of doing them. Don’t forget that the point of all this research is to help you make informed decisions. Try to collect and analyze information efficiently and effectively. This will help you make better use of your limited time and resources.

Problem solver has positive attitudes and stay focused on what can be changed rather than what already happened. They come up with
specific action plans to fix their problems and then execute right away. Once they take action, they constantly monitor their own progress.

this is truly a fantastic book.
i'm gonna have to use its principle to rethink my entire plans for my current goal.

this is amazing

the fact that this was originally written for kids makes the reading so much more pleasant because of how simple the writing is

i keep starting more books, i can't help it.
digging for info!
i have a feeling i'll finish this one quick tho

Lastly
Proactively Shape your life by Challenging your Decisions

Some lessons from Kiwi, The Soccer Girl
1. Spend Less time worrying about things & more time thinking about actions u can take to get closer to ur goals, then actually take action.

2. Ask for advice. U don't have to figure everything out on ur own.

3. Callenge ur own thinking process by using a pros & cons list. Use correct criterias. Check ur biases

There's no better environment than what is not artificially created. If you want to become bilingual u need to mix with the locals. To become a great player playing against great players on fields is more imp for development rather than warming bench.

Class4: SOCCER SCHOOL PROS & CONS

Takes eg of a young girl Kiwi, a soccer star about how she goes about choosing a new school.

PROBLEM SOLVING TOOL BOX: PROS & CONS: CRITERIA AND EVALUATION

Tool1: Pros & Cons
Step1: List all options
2: List ProsCons of each options
3: Weigh each of +ve & -ve points u listed
4: Select most attractive option based on weightage done in step3 (probably choosing one with more +ves)

Step 3: Form a hypothesis about how to close the gap & achieve the goal.
3a- List as many ideas as possible
3b- Select the best ideas as the hypothesis

Step4: Check the hypothesis:
Go to Step3 if hypothesis is disapproved
4a- Determine the analyses & info required to test hypothesis
4b- Analyse & Develop action plan

Impact = plan effectiveness X quality of execution

never forget to create concrete schedule.

Class 3: Fishy Goals & Solid ACHIEVEMENTS

-> Break Down a Big Dream into Smaller Goals
e.g. story of John Octopus, the Mushroom Lovers' excellent poster designer tries to achieve his goal of going to hollywood & becoming an animator.

Problem solving kids process for figuring out how to achieve such goals:
step1: Set a clear goal
Step2: Determine the gap between the goal & current situation
Step3: ..

STEP 2: Develop the solution
2a. Develop the wide variety of solutions to solve problems.
2b. Prioritize actions

Use Matrix to prioritize.(e.g. Impact vs Ease of implementation)

Ask for help whenver possible whatever you find hard. Everyone has some strengths. utilize it.

Class2: ROCK BANDS & ROOT CAUSES

This chap we'll use a similar process that doctors use to treat their patients.

Approach to find/develop effective solutions
Step1: Diagnose the situatn & identify root cause of problem
1a- List all potential root causes of problem
1b- Develop a hypothesis for the likely root cause
1c- Determine the analyses & informatn required to test the hypothesis.
1d- Identify the root cause

- What is Problem Solving
A 4 step process
1 Understand current situatn
2 Identify root cause of problem
3 Develop an effective action plan
4 Execute & modify until the problem is solved

Even if problem is big & complicated, learn to break it down into smaller, manageable problems that u're able to solve.

One of tools to do this is using: LOGIC TREE
- a great visual tool

Class1
- Problem Solving Kids Evolve at an amazing Rate
these kids checkout the impact of their actions & try to learn from their successes as well as their failures. The impact of their actions is their feedback & they work on these small improvements which makes a huge difference in long term.

Class1: Problem-Solving Kid Basics

-You're never too old to become a problem solving kid
eg. by 3 stories one of them is of Mushroom Lovers, a band trying to improve their concert attendance members.

-Problem-Solving Kids & company
There are 5 kinds of kids
1- Miss Singh, 2- Mr Critic, 3- Miss Dreamer, 4- Mr GoGetter & 5- Mr Problem Solver.

the 5th one thinks about root cause of problem & plans before any action

so far menarik karena dijelasin langkah-langkah praktis dalam melakukan pemecahan masalah

Like its name: 101. A good start.

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

If we first think something is attractive, we tend to try to collect evidence that supports that idea. On the other hand, if we think something is unattractive, we tend to highlight only its negative points. It is critical to avoid this tendency in order to make a sound decision.

Problem solving isn’t a talent that some people have and others don’t. It’s a
habit. By developing the right skills and adopting the right attitude, anyone can become a problem-solving kid.

Pretty awesome book which gives you a framework to think in a perspective of a problem solver by following certain protocol of thoughts.

Simple yet profound and filled with step by approach to attack problem and finding optimal solutions in eloquent manner.

Quite amazing and process oriented, I wish I could have read it while in school /college, provides solid framework for becoming and efficient problem solver,diagrams and eg are quite nice too.

Great book which shows the path to become a problem solver, I wish I could have read it when I was kid, alas I was go getter and dreamer then alternatively, its great book if you were not a problem solving kid but are eager to change your mind and are into profession involving lots of 🧠!!

Don't just have big dream. Breaking them down into smaller milestones and asking themselves " What should I do this year, or in next three month, or today?' These milestone guide them toward their dream and help to keep motivate

We tend to be swayed by our first impressions. If we first think something is attractive, we tend to try to collect evidence that supports that idea. On the other hand, if we think something is unattractive, we tend to highlight only its negative points.
