Six step guide to help you solve problems
Step 1: Identify and define the problem

>Be specific about the behavior. Situation, timing, and circumstances that make it a problem. For example: “I need to pay the phone and gas bills, and I don't have enough money to cover both this month
Step 2: Generate possible solutions
► List all the possible solutions; don't worry about the quality of the solutions at this stage. >Try to list at least 15 solutions, be creative and forget about the quality of the solution.
> If you allow yourself to be creative you may come up with some solutions that you would not otherwise have thought about.
Step 3: Evaluate alternatives
>The next step is to go through and eliminate less desirable or unreasonable solutions. ► Order the remaining solutions in order of preference.
>Evaluate the remaining solutions in terms of their advantages and disadvantages.
Step 4: Decide on a solution
► Specify who will take action.
> Specify when the solution will be implemented. For example: tomorrow morning, phone the gas company and negotiate to pay the gas bill next month.
