Problem-solving solutions consist of 5 stages we can follow below:

Stage 1:

Break problems or stressful tasks down into more manageable parts.

Stage 2:

Writing down / mind-map to understand and work out solutions. Get the problem out of your head and down on paper!

Stage 3:

Pros and cons of solutions. Are these achievable and will they lead to success?

Stage 4:

What do you need to achieve this? How long will it take? Do you need help?

Stage 5:

Review how it went. Were there difficulties? Was it successful?
