Feynman Problem-Solving Algorithm
I am a big fan of Richard P Feynman, an American physicist, scientist, teacher, raconteur, and musician.
Whenever I come across a complex problem , I follow the Feynman's Problem Solving Algorithm.
The Feynman Problem-Solving Algorithm:
(1) Write down the problem
(2) Think very hard
(3) Write down the answer
You know, what's the hard part ? Write down the problem.This looks very simple but try it out. You will find your thoughts scattered.
The moment you write down the problem clearly, your mind starts thinking over the problem. It takes few hours to few days(sometimes). You have to sleep on it. If the problem is tricky sometimes it takes few days. But if you think hard, sooner or later you will find a solution. the moment you get the light bulb moment, Write it down.
I think this is a Simple and effective approach for solving almost any kind of problems. And Mr. Feynman, a great inspiration for all times.
