Solving
Problems Effectively
Step 6 Evaluate
Come back to this section when the set time has passed or when you have achieved your goal. Depressed mood will tempt you to dwell on failures and on the things you haven’t done, rather than congratulating yourself on progress you have made. If you succeeded at your goal, deliberately make yourself think about that success. Focus on the fact that you took action, even if the problem isn’t completely solved. Give yourself credit, you deserve it.
