Overcome Any Problem

Transform obstacles into solvable steps. Structured thinking beats brute force.

What it does

  • Problem decomposition - Break complex challenges into discrete, manageable pieces
  • Action planning - Generate step-by-step execution paths with clear dependencies
  • Obstacle identification - Anticipate blockers before they derail progress
  • Progress tracking - Monitor advancement and adjust course mid-execution

Usage

Define Problem

State the challenge clearly. What's blocking you? What does success look like?

Break it Down

Decompose into 8 angles: functional, technical, temporal, resource, risk, stakeholder, precedent, creative.

Create Action Plan

Sequence tasks with dependencies. Identify parallelizable work. Flag critical path items.

Track Progress

Update status as you execute. Log blockers. Trigger re-analysis if assumptions break.

Review Obstacles

When stuck, inspect the directive. What changed? What was missed? Update and retry.

Problem-Solving Framework

Define - Clarify the problem statement. State constraints and success criteria.

Analyze - Apply multiple lenses (technical, financial, temporal, creative, etc).

Generate options - Brainstorm 3+ solution paths. Don't filter yet.

Choose - Select the highest-leverage path. Justify the choice.

Execute - Run the action plan. Track assumptions in real-time.

Review - Evaluate outcome. What worked? What's the directive update?

Tips

  • Start with the constraint. Problems are bottleneck puzzles. Remove the tightest constraint first.
  • Think in primitives. What's the smallest building block? Build up from there.
  • Multiply, don't add. Each system should amplify everything below it.
  • Parallel over sequential. Find independent work streams. Execute simultaneously.
  • All data stays local on your machine. No cloud dependencies, full privacy control.
