Thinking in Terms of Problems

When I first started my job, a more experienced colleague advised me: “Think in terms of problems”. Whenever assigned a task, ask yourself: what am I trying to solve? Or what problem are you trying to solve?

When I get stuck, I always find myself asking myself the same question. When I pause and try to define the problem again, I end up getting more clarity on whatever I am working on.

At the end of the day, it is not about the job you do; it is about the problem you solve.So far, it is perhaps the best professional advice I have had.
