Careful — The moment when you get stuck
It will feel like you are wasting time. Instead it is the most precious moment: when you are stuck, you are learning to think.
When it happens, write on the sheet — literally — the reason for the block:
- “I don’t know how to connect … with …”
- “I have two unknowns and only one equation”
- “The figure does not suggest any useful triangle to me”
Writing it down helps to bring the real obstacle into focus — and many times, at the very moment you write it, the solution arrives.
