The universal problem solving toolkit
since i seem to be in an isolated universe where this is a “common metaphor” i shall explain.
the universal problem solving toolkit contains two items:
1) a hammer
2) duct tape
instructions:
a) identify the problem
b) classify the problem in one of two categories
category 1: something has stopped that should be going.
category 2: something is going that should be stopped.
c) apply one of the tools from the universal problem solving toolkit.
category 1: apply hammer until the stopped thing is going.
category 2: apply duct tape until the going thing is stopped.
thank you for your attention.
