day no. 15,033: principled problem solving

"A problem can only be solved by a principle." - G.K. Chesterton

Principles help navigate problems they way a code helps you navigate a cipher or a compass a landscape. In order to solve a problem, you must be able to identify the principles involved.

Hebrews 5:14
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

This can sometimes be work, but it is productive work. It helps you get handles on the problem, the moving pieces and the best possible solution provided the principles in play.
