How to Solve Problems, NOT Symptoms

 

Congrats, you left Monday in the dust! 

If you are like so many of us, Mondays often leave you staring face to face with a slew of problems. Some big, some small, but all of them requiring some sort of action to address it. Sometimes the problems are new, and sometimes it’s the same problem that keeps surfacing over and over again. Why is that? 

I recently dug into the book “Upstream” by NYT Bestselling Author Dan Heath and a couple of the stories punched me right in the gut by addressing some of the reasons the systems I’ve designed might be the problem. 

Just like in most of life, you can’t fix it until you realize there’s a problem. And also like many other times in life…the problem is us. But wait! That’s actually good news. If you are the problem then YOU have control over taking the first steps to fix it  

May we continue to solve problems and not just the symptoms they produce…

Pursue Clarity.
