Ever had one of those sleepless nights when your mind feels like a carousel of problems spinning relentlessly? I know I have. The moment my list of worries spills beyond half a page, I start to feel the restlessness creeping in. Life has a knack for throwing challenges our way, right? But what if I told you that you could cut your problem list in half with a simple 5-minute exercise? Sounds too good to be true? Stick with me; you're in for a productivity hack that's a game-changer.
Step 1: List Your Problems 📝
Grab a notebook, your phone, or even a napkin; it doesn't matter where you jot it down. Make a list of ALL your problems. Big or small, work-related or personal, just let it all flow. It might feel overwhelming at first, but trust me, we're about to make this easy.
Step 2: Divide and Conquer 🚩
Now, turn the page and draw a line down the middle. On one side, write "Solvable," and on the other, "Unsolvable." Take a deep breath as you categorize them. You're already on your way to decluttering your mind.
Step 3: Embrace Serenity 🧘♂️
Here's the magic: Forget all the problems on the "Unsolvable" side. Yes, you read that right! Tear the list into half and throw away the “Unsolvable.” We often spend countless hours stressing over things we can't change. But remember the famous Serenity Prayer? "Accept the things we cannot change." It's not just a mantra; it's a roadmap to peace.
Step 4: Tackle the Solvable 🛠️

Now, let's turn our attention to the "Solvable" side. These are the challenges within your control, waiting for your brilliance. Start with the smallest one; it's like a warm-up for your problem-solving muscles. Check it off, and feel that sense of accomplishment.
Continue down the list, one by one. You'll be amazed at how quickly those "solvable" problems start to vanish. 🌟
By following these four simple steps, you've just eliminated 50% of your problems in under 5 minutes! 🎉
Life's too short to be bogged down by the weight of unsolvable issues. Focus your energy where it matters, on the solutions that bring progress and peace.
So, my fellow problem-solvers, let's declutter our minds and conquer our challenges, one "solvable" problem at a time. 💪✨

1yI think in your categorization of problems you could include a 3rd column of "imagined" problems. When we disposition or discard the problems that aren't even real, the list can get a lot shorter

1yThis post was created because I couldn't sleep last night. When my problem list grows longer than half a page, I become restless and lose sleep. I got out of bed, made a list, and eliminated the ones I could not fix--which shrank the list by 50%. Then I went back to sleep. I am tackling my solvable problems today. #lifehacks #sleepmore
