If I'm really struggling with a problem, I'll talk to others. Otherwise, I'll get stuck in my head and make it into a bigger problem than it is. Asking for advice always gives me a fresh perspective.

Good question! When I have the time, I try to understand the root of the problem, the underlying cause, before starting to look for a solution

I usually evaluate the problems, and if I'm not sure what to do, I seek advice from experts.

When the problem is too big to be solved in one shot, I try to break it down in smaller problems and I start to solve all them one by one. At the end the bigger one is solved too !!!
