It seems no one wants to practice “problem solving.” Because of the ways our minds work, people are usually pleased to be generating ideas and crossing things off lists as “solved,” but these activities might not be the ones that require practice.
Generating an idea, coming up with what should be an obvious approach… When we are really stuck on a problem, these things are sirens, leading us onto the rocks. We may need to stop our ears so we can navigate well.
“Solving” is what we are doing when we are stuck and not giving in or giving up.
