You’re stuck. You’re not making
progress on your goal. You’ve tried the things that
have worked before, and you’re still stuck.
Time to think outside the box. For example, imagine that your goal is to more quickly peel a boiled egg. You’ve tried rolling the egg on a plate to crack the shell and then peeling it—too slow. You’ve tried hitting the shell with a spoon, inserting the spoon between the egg white and the shell, and then using the spoon to peel the egg—still too slow.

When you’re stuck (and even when you’re not), try thinking outside the box.
