Developing a strategy for dealing with a situation begins with a description of the situation and the preferred state for today, not in some distant future, and the perceived implications of not doing anything. There is a also a video for this insight.

We create the future as a result of the manner in which we choose to engage with situations which concern us. There is a also a video for this insight which is a component of the Effective Problem Solving Course.
