Find out the underlying issue: What’s the reason it’s difficult? What’s the issue: difficult, scary, money required, time required, do not want/like/enjoy, other?

Ask: do I want to do this?

Ask: why am I doing this? What’s the core goal, pain point, need, problem to solve, job to be done?

Come up with alternate ideas for achieving the core goal (how else could I solve this problem/do this job)?

Look at options: keep, delete, pause, outsource, delegate, automate.
