More Than One Way to Skin a Cat: Explorations in Creative Thinking. How many times have you told yourself that there is no other way to solve a problem or that a problem is a dead end? How many times have you felt stuck because you couldn't figure out how to solve a problem? Nothing. No choice. No solutions.
Did you feel like you had tried everything and were still standing in front of the big, unconquerable mountain? When you're dealing with such big problems, you might feel like you're banging your head against a steel mountain. It may be too much to handle to have to solve such a problem.
But rejoice! There might still be a chance!

With some creative ways to solve a problem, you might be able to see it in a different way. And that light might be the end of the tunnel that leads to possible solutions.
First of all, if you want to solve a problem in a creative way, you need to be open to the idea that there may be more than one way to do it. And you have to be willing to consider that there may be ways to solve problems you thought couldn't be solved.
Now that we have a more positive outlook, we can try to think of new ways to solve our problems.
1. We might not be able to solve our problems because we haven't really looked at what the problem is. In this case, trying to understand the problem and having a clear idea of how it works are important parts of finding a solution. If you understand how it works and what the problem is, you have a better chance of solving it.
Not trying to say what the problem is in a simple way. Try to figure out who is involved and what their relationships are with each other. Think about what you could gain and what you could lose from the current problem. Now you can say what the problem is in a simple way.
2. Try to write down all of the rules and assumptions you have about the problem. Sometimes our assumptions get in the way of us seeing possible solutions. You have to figure out which assumptions are correct and which ones need to be dealt with.
3. Try to solve the problem piece by piece. Start with the big picture and work your way down to the small details. This method is called "top-down." Write down the question and then think of a one-sentence answer from them. The solution should be a general statement of how the problem will be fixed. From here, you can build on the solution and make it more complicated bit by bit.
4. It helps to think critically when you're trying to solve a problem, but you also need to keep a creative, analytical voice in the back of your mind. When someone suggests a possible solution, try to figure out how you could make it work. Try to be original. At the same time, try to find holes in that solution.
5. Keep in mind that there may be more than one solution being worked on at the same time. Try to keep up with all of the solutions and how they change. Don't forget that there may be more than one way to solve a problem.
6. Don't forget the old saying, "Two heads are better than one." It's more true than it seems. Always be willing to try new things. You can only get better by hearing what everyone has to say. This is especially true if the person you are talking to has already solved problems like the one you are having.
You don't have to be a gung-ho, lone hero to solve the problem. It would be better if you could get everyone to think about the same thing at the same time.
7. Be patient. If you keep trying, there is always a chance that a solution will show up. Remember that no one came up with a new idea the first time they tried.
You can also get better at solving problems by doing creative thinking exercises.

One example is given below.
Take a piece of paper and write in the middle of it any word that comes to mind. Now look at that word and write the first two words that come to mind. This can go on until you have a tree of words that mean the same thing. This helps you learn to think in a logical way and strengthens your creative process.
So, think again the next time you see a problem you think you can't solve. You might be able to see the answer right in front of you. All you need is a little creativity, some planning, and a lot of hard work.
