Cast: 1.5 sec
Range: 30 yd

Learning the ranks
Three rewrites
State the problem in one sentence, then rewrite it three ways: bigger, smaller, and as a question. The first framing is rarely the best one.
Design with constraints
Ask what would make it easy instead of hard, and which part you could solve today. Constraints become features when you design with them.
Keep a thinking spellbook
Keep a file of problems you dissolved by reframing; it becomes your personal spellbook of thinking tools.
