"The Problem Solving Questions"


1. What is great about this problem?
Find something positive about that problem.

2. What is not perfect yet?
Why do you think this is a problem in the first place? What inconvenience it had cause you that you labeled it as a problem? How do you thinks your situations could be perfect?

3. What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?
Just as questions posed. What are you willing to do?

4. What am I willing to no longer do in order to make it the way I want it?
Again a straight forward question. But a little tricky to answer. No more procrastination is one good answer.

5. How can I enjoy the process while I do what is necessary to make it the way I want it?
Link the process of doing what needed to be done with something that will give you pleasures.

6. Why haven't you read my ten years old book?
Okay. I'm kidding
