In the past, I used to detest the feeling of being ensnared by an unsolvable problem. My go-to strategy was an all-out, relentless assault – an exhaustive, sometimes desperate, endeavor to find a solution, even if it meant being glued to my computer until sheer exhaustion took over.
However, a paradigm shift occurred, and I abandoned the obsession with the "solve it or die trying" mentality. Instead, I adopted a more mindful approach. I learned to let the problem sink in, granting myself the liberty to step away from it. During these breaks, my subconscious mind continued to grapple with the issue from various angles. I found solace in activities like listening to music, embarking on hikes with my dogs, or even indulging in a rejuvenating nap.
The impact of this new approach on my learning and problem-solving abilities has been profound. By allowing myself the space to detach and recharge, I've discovered a reservoir of creativity and insight that was previously overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of a solution. This journey has not only transformed my problem-solving skills but has also brought about a newfound appreciation for the subtle art of patience in the face of challenges.
