Solving problems

I quote from Albert Einstein:

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.


This quote shows that I have a lot to learn about resolving problems. In my line of work, my job is to resolve problems and yet, this line has never occurred to me.

If you use the same kind of thinking while trying to resolve the problem, you will end up thinking of the problem, and not of the solution. However, how to turn your mind away from the problem is easier said than done.

I think I have to sleep on it.
