Rudbek's Rules of Problem Solution

[kaylarudbek]

1. Admit that there is a problem to be solved. (the squeaky wheel is the one that gets the grease)
2. Identify what the problem is. (e.g. don't try to use the physics tools for biology or vice versa unless they'd work)
3. Identify the type of problem. (e.g. do you use the Phillips screwdriver, the flathead, or the Allen wrench?)
4. Determine what you can do to solve the problem (can I do anything about it, or is it all on other people to fix?)
5. Act to solve problem.
6. Check and see if problem is in fact solved. If not, go back to step 2.

yep, I did think of this as an ideal problem-solving scheme and not an actual one. (as in it might actually get some problems solved)
