based on a post from ianleslie on substack 1. accept that you might have thought too much: wrong directions or more relations then the actual topic is about 2. check background knowledge to be sure if you are missing things or if you are just lead by hubris 3. think about using an other method, as the old one might drive into the errors 4. are you thinking that your surroundings prevent you to unfold potential? maybe try to solve it under different circumstances 5. finally if theres still no success, combat the question for the problem itself. would it be solvable in other ways?
