1. Write down the problem.
    1. "Start by defining the obstacle with ruthless precision. You can’t solve what you don’t understand. Put it on paper—make it concrete. This isn’t just a mental exercise; it’s the first deliberate act of taking control. Clarity is the foundation of progress, and vague problems breed vague results. Strip it down to its essence, because the moment you name it, you begin to tame it."
  2. Think very hard.
    1. "Engage your mind fully—don’t skim the surface. This is where the real work happens: wrestle with the problem like it’s a puzzle you’re determined to crack. Deep thinking isn’t passive; it’s an active, disciplined pursuit of insight. Block out the noise, focus your attention, and let the pieces shift until patterns emerge. Effort here compounds—every minute of hard thought builds the bridge to a better solution."
  3. Write down the answer.
    1. "Commit the solution to paper with intention. This isn’t just recording—it’s declaring. Writing crystallizes your thinking, turning abstract ideas into actionable steps. It’s a small habit with outsized impact: the act of documenting locks in your progress and sets the stage for execution. Answers don’t live in your head—they thrive in the real world, where you can refine and act on them."
