Do you need to just start from scratch on a problem?

Scrap what you already “think” you know. Go back to the beginning and cite each record as you find it, analyze carefully each piece of information you discover, and write down each step in your logic and reasoning.

Maybe even argue with yourself slightly as you work on the problem. Question yourself.

Sometimes what we need is just a fresh start.

  1. This is so true. I got a surprise when I wasn’t getting anywhere with my grandmother s first husband. Went back & really looked at information. He wouldn’t leave me alone. Found some new information & a new direction . Going much smoother !
