This post is an introduction to metaproblems and discusses a common metaproblem: drama.
define a problem as an unsolved issue. It could be minor. Or it could threaten your project, llivelihood, or even your life. Problems share some characteristics:
•Problems are not symptoms. •Problems are not effects. •Problems rarely scale. The symptoms of a problem are related to the problem. We usually think of symptoms medically. If you have a common cold you exhibit symptoms. The symptoms indicate you have a cold, but they are not the root cause of the cold. The root cause is something else - some virus or other. As I type, Emma Grace is sneezing. Sneezing is a symptom, she's either coming down with a cold or reacting to an allergy. It's also snowing, so the weather is a problem.
