Problem?

By Adam Rifkin

Rifkin's rules of problem solving:

  1. Focus on problem choice. Finding the best problem to solve is the hardest part.

  2. Do not create a new problem as part of your solution to an existing problem.

  3. Do not solve problems you don't have.

  4. Wait as long as possible to optimize.

  5. Continually improve.
