How can I problem solve?

Break the Rut

Get out of your mental rut. When we think about things from ony one perspetive, we get into a mental rut. How do you get unstuck?

Take a break so that you have enough space to think beyond the bad approach you've been using. Now do something creative like play an interactive video game to get yourself to think in an unconventional way, become more open minded, and come to new solutions.
