You always have more than two ways to solve any problems
Work And Study Productivity / / December 23, 2019
In most cases, people think that there are only two ways to solve their problems or tasks. This kind of restriction, which they themselves come up with, is not conducive to the normal problem-solving. There is always more than two ways to deal with one problem or another.

When a person says that he has only one solution, in fact, it means: "I have no choice" - and this is the wrong approach. (At least it is worth adding two alternatives: "do nothing" and "go crazy").
When someone says that he has only two choices, it means that the person is stuck. You begin to compare the pros and cons of the two options, oblivious to the fact that you can come up with other alternatives for solving the problem.
Adults rarely use brainstorming in solving this or that problem, limiting themselves several options. I think too mundane. Take on arms childlike and join in brainstorming.
As an example the situation in real life. Man chooses between in order to remain on their high-paying but boring work or quit to start their own business. In fact, the options can be much larger:
- Open your own business and fully delegate things on it a special manager, who will share your vision of how to do business. Spend on the control of the company is not more than an hour a day.
- Tell us about your new idea boss. Presented it as an idea for opening a new division in the company where you work.
- Start to work two hours early and spend those extra two hours a day to create his own company. If necessary, use as lunch time and breaks. Work on such a scheme, while the income of the new company does not amount to 50% of your current salary. Then dismiss.
- If you live in a private home, turn it out and stay as a security guard. If in a large apartment, you can take the extra room. Take on the job a year off (at your expense). Read as much material from the area in which you are going to open a business. Thus, for the year you get a lot of information and will be able to proceed with the opening of the business, possessing all the necessary knowledge.
- Think of your new business as a hobby, not as a business. Because you hate your current job, get yourself a new one. One that will allow you to be flexible and to give your hobby more time.
- Dismiss the current job and arrange the leader area in which you want to open your own business. Find out all the details in practice, then to use this knowledge in your company.
- Ride to work tours to New Zealand.
Summary
With only two solutions to a particular problem, you can not avoid feeling zagnannosti the corner and maybe even fear. Free your mind from worries and enjoy a brainstorm. It usually takes less than an hour of time and allows you to feel more free. Your thoughts are clear and precise as ever, and the chosen solution will give joy, not a sense of compromise in the selection of two mediocre options.
