&gt; If so, perhaps there&#x27;s a way you can simply force yourself to commit to a methodology&#x2F;problem-solving-method before you start tackling the actual problems.<p>I really like that idea. So for a given project where there are 5 ways I can say &quot;I&#x27;m going to solve it using approach 4. It may turn out to be better or worse than the others but that&#x27;s not what matters; using this method is what I&#x27;m doing&quot; and have that as my goal, not <i>finding the optimum method amongst the 5 possible ways</i>.
