The Rule of THREE

On this particular slot, i will tell you my own theory, this theory should be able to help you in regular basis, just because it is simple and help you to solve any problem you faced. as you may know, there are some approaches you can take when you are dealing with problems.

first PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Action) these cycle is one of the base from industrial engineering study, where plan is when you make assumption for your problem and plan ahead what you should do about that, then Do, is where you implement those alternatives not by 100%, but just a glimpse so you can calculate the impact of that alternatives, and then Check, its where you evaluate what you've done so far and you have to decide what alternative you should use, and after all clear you can make next step into Action where you implement all the solution you make.

beside PDCA there's more easy theory we all able to implement, such as problem solving cycle which consist of identify problem, explore the solution, set goals, make alternatives or plan B, select which one is better, implement and finally evaluate, if something goes wrong then back to identify the problem

but the main problem about problem solving mostly it's not in the theory on how you do that or else, but it comes when you try to implement all of that, first of all when you want to identify the problem, where you should start? from what perspective you should see? which one is more urgent than the others? these problem will eventually come up in every step of problem solving cycle. then what you need is not these cycle, but the frame on how you should think about everything.

my theory is super simple, the theory of three is what it's sounds like, it represent the number three, which basically means anything, any problems, any solutions can be started with three part :

PREPARATION
ACTION
FINISH

or

BACKGROUND
CONTENT
EVAUATION

or

PRE
PROCESS
POST

anything will basically consist of these three. when you started to analyze anything, just start with these basic three and your analysis will become much much more easier and faster, also its valid because it's scientific.

let's do some practice : 

problems : your girlfriend doesn't text you back


think by the theory of three :
then it must be consist of three steps in why she's angry. 
1. Before today 
i met her in the street while i talk to my ex
2. Today
she mad at me because of that, so i will apologize to her
3. Tomorrow
I will assure to make better understanding for both of us.

there, your porblem solved within minutes and also its scientifically correct!
enjoy these new knowledge, and share it to your friends!
