Solving Problems

The first step in solving a problem is to clearly define the problem. The first step in solving a complicated set of problems is to solve the first problem first. The first step in solving a wicked set of problems is to understand and accept that the solution to any of the problems is going to have an effect on other problems - for some better and for some worse. Id est, there is no perfect solution. 

My first problem is that I need to think deeper than three sentences. I could explain why I developed the habit of three sentence thinking but what would that serve? It would create a more engaging story here and now, yes, but it would plant seeds for other trouble. Is it enough to say that paying only three sentences worth of attention to something solved one problem but it created many others?
