Problems... Rest in Peace

justop26 posted on Aug 10, 2006 | views: 163 | Tags: obssession, solving problems, bad habit, let it go
I want to know how you deal with problems you can't solve right away? Do you let it rest or do you try and try until you solve it? Or do you just don't care?

I don't know if it's an obssession, a bad habit or perseverance... but when I find a problem, I won't let it rest (nor will I rest) until I solve it. It's like, I try to leave it there, but not a minute after I'm back to looking for a solution. I won't even sleep at night if it's still bothering me...

But, what about you?

    I work hard on finding the solution but if I see that I am not getting anywhere I let it rest for a while and I try finding the solution the next day using a different approach.

    get away from the problem, do something totally different. when your mind's relaxed, the solution will come to you like a light bulb, and most often when you are showering....

    Fire_Star_88: That's a nice one. Only when I feel REALLY frustrated, I seem to realize that I should let it rest for a while... Susmaryosep: "most often when you are showering..." You spy on me *shock* The place where all of my great ideas come to me is... well, the bathroom! I don't know, but the bathroom has something on me, I almost always find a solution to stuff while being on the bathroom... More than once I've solved a Chemistry homework while brushing my teeth :P Oops, sorry, guess I got carried away... And thanks for the tip! :)

    Ithought I was weird, but justop26, I am glad we find inspiration in cascades of clean water, shocking, cleaning, and even... Singing!

    I thought I was the only one who did such a thing... going into the bathroom to think :P I'm also glad I found someone that does it, too! Hahaha, I [i]try[/i] to sing... and the running water really calms me down.

    Don't let the water choke you...!

    I honestly didn't get the joke! *shock* I'm really slow today :P
  • Susmaryosep said on Aug 19, 2006....
    That's not a joke!

    Ok, guess I won't let the water choke me, then :P
