🔶 Break the problem down

Most large problems may seem big and complex
but usually are just a collection of smaller problems

❓ How can you split it into smaller problems
❓ Can you solve part of the problem?
❓ which parts are easy, which parts are difficult
🔶 Is it unique?

Most problems have already been
encountered by others,
and solved by others

Your problem may not be unique

❓ How did others solve this problem
❓ How did others approach this kind of problem
❓ Is there an expert I could reach out to
🔶 Is it actually the problem

Sometimes there comes times when we think

The issue is X,
but it was Y

❓ How could I think of this problem differently
❓ How would others think through this problem
❓ Are you coming to the right conclusion
❓ Are you making any assumptions
🔶 Not knowing where to look

It can sometimes be hard to know where we need to look for help, @google is king but some ideas:

❓ Programming Communities
❓ Problem-answer sites like Quora and Stackoverflow
❓ Tutorial videos
❓ Tech blogs
❓ Niche Forums
