Need a fresh problem solving angle? Think in reverse

You can make an airplane fly faster by giving it a better engine.

But you can also make it faster by making it lighter or reducing its size.

Brainstorming unique or new solutions are made easier when you try inversion.

What is Inversion?

Inversion pushes us to think backward. Instead of “How can I maximize my productivity?”, think “What drains my productivity?”

This flipped perspective can identify overlooked obstacles and pave the way for innovative strategies.

🧠 Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway credits inversion for their success, more by “avoiding stupidity” than just being smart.

🔍 So if you're facing a problem and need new solutions:

Shift your focus from your goal to its opposite - your anti-goal.
