  2. What is Problem Solving? Problem solving refers to the process of finding solutions to problems encountered in life. This means: • Identifying a problem area • Analysing the possible plans of action and • Executing the most favourable plan of action This process can range from simple to complex. For example: deciding which road to take to work or which career to choose.

  3. When does Problem Solving occur? Whenever we face a road block or when we have more than one option for a particular task, then we must take few steps to solve it and come to a conclusion. The steps to solve a problem increase as the complexity of the problem increases.

  4. Steps to solve a problem • Identify and define the problem • Generate possible solutions • Evaluate alternatives • Decide on a solution • Implement the solution • Evaluate the outcome

  5. What ‘not’ to do when solving problems • Do not be hasty and take up too much at one time. • Being hard on yourself when you falter will only make the problem solving process more painful. • It is false to think that asking for help makes you look weak. • Do not become impatient and disheartened when things do not go according to plan.

  6. How to solve problems efficiently • Prepare for the problem- set time aside and do it calmly. • Deal with one problem at a time- even if you can do two, do not take on too much at one time, it may affect the quality of your peace and ultimately the quality of the outcome. • Seek advice from trusted persons when needed. If suggestions are offered and you feel it may help you, accept them with open arms. • Never be afraid to ask for help. When you feel lost in a complex problem, there will always be someone to assist you in your time of need. • Be kind to yourself. Doing new things take time and you may have not come across a problem before, so be calm in your approach. • Patience is key. Good things take time.

  7. Solving personal problems • Be patient and kind to yourself. • Be positive and hopeful. • Know that you can always ask for assistance and help. • Take one step at a time. • Simplify the steps. • Be rational.

  8. Solving other problems • In a team, ensure to include other peoples view points, be accepting of multiple answers. • At school or work, be organized, make time tables and use other materials to plan out your solutions. • Think about the solution calmly and be rational. • Ask and accept suggestions. It is always good to have multiple view points and widen your understanding of the subject.
