My views on how to problem solve: (in depth)

1. What is the problem or problems?

 What actually is the problem at hand?

- Isolating your problem is in fact essential to solving one. You can’t solve what you don’t know what is “wrong”.

2. What am I contributing to it?

How am I helping / making it worse?

- Take into account of your own actions and the actions of your influence.

3. What perspective am I missing?

Who’s point of view am I missing?

- Sometimes it is as simple as a misunderstanding, but also getting the other side broadens your view point. Don’t be a know-it-all.

4. Research the problem a little.

Seek outside help / information

- The chances that you are the only one with that problem out of millions of people who have ever lived ever is slim. Get educated with views of the more experienced or compile data on facts.

5. What mutual agreement can be established?

Try to reach a realistic agreement.

- Everyone is human and everyone has wants. Try to reach a reasonable answer together. Whether that is cooperation or avoidance, but never burn down bridges unless it’s a last resort.

6. If so, how can I help prevent a similar incident?

If the problem can be avoided, know how to avoid it.

- Never stop learning ways to keep the peace, even if it’s just with yourself.
