The thirsty plant and the empty can

The plant’s leaves are drooping, which means it needs water. But the watering can is empty, so there is nothing to pour yet. Look around calmly: the tap is right there on its post, so you fill the can first and water the plant after. A problem becomes easy when you cut it into small steps and do them in the right order.

Examples

• In the morning you can only find one shoe: instead of getting upset, you think about where you took them off yesterday and go and look there.
• Your pencil point breaks in the middle of a drawing: you fetch the sharpener, sharpen it, and go back to your picture.

Key takeaways

• First say what the problem is and what is missing.
• The answer is often close by, then work one step at a time.

Carry on in the app
