Dealing with frustration when things don't work.
- by John Isaacks
You ever try to implement something simple but for some strange reason it doesn't work.
So you try a possible solution but then something else doesn't work. You keep trying different workarounds but every time something different isn't working.
Every time you get one step closer you also get one (or more) step farther from solving this problem and its now been 3 hours when this should have taken you 10 minutes. And it still isn't solved.
There is no one in your company who can help, and you are about to put your fist through your screen.
At this point you are so frustrated you can no longer think about the problem clearly. What should you do at this point? Or what can you do to avoid reaching this point?
