For me the first step in figuring out a solution is to clearly understand the problem. It always seems like the solution is far easier than that first part. Well... then there's implementation :)

I am reminded of the Feynman Algorithm:

Write down the problem.

Think real hard.

Write down the solution.

The Feynman algorithm was facetiously suggested by Murray Gell-Mann, a colleague of Feynman, in a New York Times interview.

The first step is usually the hardest.
