No matter if it’s a tricky problem, a tangled task, or even a bit of code that’s stuck – sometimes it helps to simply explain it out loud. Best to someone who listens quietly and doesn’t interrupt. For example… your rubber duck.
The method is called Rubberduck Debugging. It comes from IT but works everywhere: when you explain your problem step by step, your thinking automatically becomes clearer – and you often find the solution yourself.
