🔥 Stuck on a problem? Stop trying to solve it. Flip it.

Try this:

👉 “What’s the exact opposite of what I’m trying to do?”

Why? Because reversing the problem can reveal possibilities you wouldn’t see by approaching it the usual way.

Instead of making it more complicated
→ How could I simplify it?

Instead of adding features
→ What could I remove?

Instead of making it better
→ What could I stop doing?

Instead of trying to speed things up
→ What’s slowing me down?

Instead of finding more solutions
→ What’s creating the problem?

Instead of making a decision
→ What would make the decision unnecessary?

Sounds backwards. That’s the point. 😏

Flip the problem.
Challenge the obvious.
Find a better way. 💡

What problem could you flip today?
