Why We Solve Big Problems First
Talk With The Video
Summary
- Most tasks on your to-do list are easy for you to solve, but they won't lead to major progress.
- Solving small tasks might feel good each day, but doesn't solve big, important problems.
- Big problems (A+ problems) can take several days to solve, and that's okay.
- Focusing on and solving a big problem can lead to significant growth and progress.
- Be patient when tackling big challenges; they make the biggest difference in the long run.

How To Take Action
I would suggest focusing on tackling one big, A+ problem rather than spending time on easy tasks. Start by identifying the most significant issue that, when solved, will lead to substantial growth. Don’t be discouraged if it takes several days; this is normal and part of solving important problems.
A good way of doing this is by setting aside dedicated time each day to work solely on this big problem. Prioritize it over smaller tasks. This means resisting the urge to handle easy, quick tasks just to feel productive. Trust that the satisfaction and impact will be greater once the big problem is resolved.
Be patient and persistent. Big challenges require patience, so remind yourself daily of the potential progress and growth awaiting you on the other side of solving this problem. Each small step towards solving it counts and adds up over time.
Lastly, consider creating a log of your progress to help maintain motivation. Write down what you learn each day about tackling the problem, even if it feels like a small insight. Reflecting on these entries can show how far you’ve come and provide momentum to keep moving forward.
Remember, solving one big problem can lead to massive benefits, far more than completing many small tasks. Stay focused, be patient, and embrace the challenge!
