Write. Act. Solve.
One of the biggest game-changers in my career has been learning to think through writing. I used to spend so much time just “thinking” about problems without making any real progress.
Now, I write the problem down. I refine it, tweak it, explore it from different angles, visualise it and ask ChatGPT for new angles. Once that’s clear, I map out ways to solve it — my plan. But I don’t stop there.
Real understanding of the problem comes through action. Progress brings the most valuable insights.
Problem-solving isn’t linear. You can’t fully define a problem until you start solving it and you can’t predict when it’ll be fully defined—or resolved.
Clarity comes as you move forward.
