"A good plan violently executed today is better than a perfect plan next week" - George Patton

Focus on solutions and not problems - find out what is working, and do more of it!

Research from the University of Arkansas shows that analysing what has been going wrong ("the problem") only causes people to feel more stuck. Whether working out how to resolve an interpersonal issue, or plan next year's budget, a focus on solutions rather than on problems is the key to success. Helping people reflect on successes and find even small things for which they can congratulate themselves helps people "feel more in control of themselves and their circumstances."

Solutions focus
