#564 Why Slowing Down Makes You Better at Solving Problems

Are you a fix-it-fast problem solver?

In this Squiggly Shortcut, Helen makes the case for slowing down before you jump to solutions.
🎯 What You'll Learn
– Why surface-level fixes create ping pong problems that just keep coming back
– How to use two simple questions "why is this a problem?" and "why is this an issue?" to get to the cause
– How to turn your answers into better, more targeted solutions rather than sticking plasters
– Why solving problems as a team (rather than solo) means people are more bought into what comes next
