“Are you dealing with a leak or a puddle?”
If you are facing a problem in your life -
(And who among us isn’t?)
- You might find the following distinction from author James Clear useful.
He says there are 2 basic types of problems:
‘A “Muddy Puddle” problem, if left unbothered, becomes clearer over time and resolves itself. The best approach might be to take a walk, pray about it, and get it out of your head for a while.
A “Leaky Ceiling” problem, on the other hand, if left unattended, worsens and brings disaster. The best approach is to stop procrastinating on take the first step toward resolving it.
It’s important to know which kind of problem you’ve got on your plate!
If you want to read Clear’s explanation for yourself, you can find it HERE accompanied by a “sketchplanation” by artist Jono Hey. The little visual helps to make Clear’s point stick.
