This is something I need to remind myself of from time to time:

There are solutions to most problems you experience, be it in your everyday life, or work tasks. If it's impossible to find a solution to a given problem you should consider that you _may_ be trying to solve the wrong thing - or maybe the solution is to simply stop doing whatever it is that doesn't work.

Problem solving is fun and I at least tend to think many things are solvable. However, some things should simply be seen in another perspective and voilà - suddenly something totally different but better shows up.

Example: Sustainable meat production. Bad idea, doesn't work, don't try to make it work.
