Come on.

The one I&#8217;ll present is the one I&#8217;m normally using. It&#8217;s a method that I tested and developed over time to cope with the way my mind work.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I face a problem, an issue, an opportunity, what do I do?<\/p>\n<p>First, I learn about it. I try to understand it as well as I can with the resources I have. I try to learn the true nature of the thing. Without this knowledge, I couldn&#8217;t be able to do anything.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I&#8217;ll find the solution only by doing this. In this case, I&#8217;ll be really happy and will spend my saved time to drink to it. The problem is that resolving an issue only by doing this is rare.<\/p>\n<p>If I don&#8217;t come up with a solution after hard work and explorations, I stop to think about it. I start to work on another non-related thing; I do something manual: doing sport, going outside, etc. <\/p>\n<p>I have two goals by doing this. <\/p>\n<p>The first one is to free my mind. <\/p>\n<p>The second one is to stimulate it with new external stimulus. I do this in hope to create new connections in my brain; to see, unconsciously, the thing with another point of view.<\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m lucky, within a day, a week or a month a hint will show up in my mind: a track to follow to resolve my given problem. My unconsciousness has then talked.<\/p>\n<p>Its how I generally work: I feed my unconsciousness with the given problem then I let him think about it, waiting for a hint. <\/p>\n<p>What I learned while developing this method? Patience and confidence. I needed to develop a confidence in my preliminary works and searching. I had to have the confidence that I done the good things to come up with a solution. Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t find it but I knew I was on the good way. So I used my thinking method to try to come up with a solution. Then I needed to develop my patience to wait to see the results. Without any of these two things, the method would be useless.<\/p>\n<p>Technoratie:   [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Mind\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">Mind<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/think\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">think<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/problem\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">problem<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/issue\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">issue<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/strategy\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">strategy<\/a>] <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;When do you do your best thinking?
