To solve a problem creatively, you cannot just jump right in. Instead, you must follow an organized process.
Freedom is gained from thinking.
In order to be a good problem solver, one must familiarize themselves with the problem and decide how to attack it. Maintain critical attitude and trust your reasoning. Map out the entire problem through questions. First, I sat down and thought about what was the most effective way to communicate my information while also incorporating a creative concept. I wrote down any idea that came to mind, even if I didn't think it was feasible.
