Here’s something I started doing recently that’s helped me learn faster, improve my thinking, and even find opportunities:
Take other people’s small, annoying problems and try to solve them — fast.
You don’t need to be an expert. Just pick a tiny problem someone has (something they’d pay $2 to fix), and focus on solving it completely, even if it’s messy.
What I’ve noticed:
- It builds real, transferable skills
- You start to spot patterns and repeated pain points
- You develop creative thinking under pressure
- People are actually grateful — even for tiny solutions
- Sometimes it leads to bigger opportunities or ideas
Now I do 1–2 “problem-solving sessions” per day, like a mini challenge. It’s helped me grow faster than reading books or courses — because it’s real and practical.
Try it for a week: ask a friend what they’re stuck with and try to fix it fully.
You’ll be surprised how effective it is.
