A Problem is only. . . .

A Problem is only a Problem until one is able to find a Solution to the Problem?

As one sees how GTD fits best. . . .

Ps. The above might also potentially be an additionally useful perspective in helping to overcome Procrastination(s)?

I have come to believe that the best way to solve problems is to have an excelllent GTD system, which frees one’s mind up to focus on open loops while taking away anxieties over appropriate engagement (e.g. how am I going to handle this problem?) . Our minds really are very good at problem solving once we have free space and time in our lives.

I found this amusing as it pretty much sums up most folks' mentality who are in management: don't tell them about problems unless you have solutions for those problems. Slightly tongue in cheek, yes.

In all seriousness, I don't know. A problem is a problem. Not every problem has a solution and the only way to get to a solution is to first recognize the problem to begin with.
