Did you know that you could make your difficult tasks more palatable by brainstorming?
Difficult tasks are often the elephant in the workroom in regards to discussion. It’s almost ironic, because the more a difficult concept is talked about, the less difficult it generally becomes – yet it’s also generally the most avoided topic of conversation.
The solution to this is as easy as it is effective; brainstorming. Not only is it an effective way to have everyone talk about that dang elephant, it’s also a good way to fix it – or at least discuss all the potential ways you could. But why are brainstorms so effective for difficult tasks? Why, we’re so glad you asked.

Because the more different perspectives you put into a brainstorm, the more potential solutions you get out – including the different perspective you’ll have on an issue a couple hours on from it. Giving yourself the opportunity to fully visualise the difficulties of a task allows you to see it for what it truly is – which is generally less scary the longer you look at it.
