In my opinion the worst kind of problems we face are chronic ones. Some might say the emergencies which pop up over time are worse but in actual fact they are addressed quickly and are often just a flash in the pan in comparison…  

Chronic ones are the kind which slowly grow over time and the more we wait the harder they become to solve. You often don’t know you have one and sometimes this realisation can come too late…

A chronic problem can only be solved by building a new system to address it. Finding a new way to build momentum away from the problem!  

Most people don’t see chronic problems this way and try to take the emergency approach. This is why they bounce back time after time and seldom make any real change…

If this sounds familiar the first step to fixing it is realising it is a chronic problem because this way your solution will be more effective!
