Dr. Clay has written a really helpful list of the 5 parts of any problem:

"Every problem has five parts or levels: (1) the behavior involved, (2) the emotions experienced, (3) the skills you may need, (4) the mental processes involved (thoughts or self-talk, motivations, self-concept, values, and expectations), and (5) the unconscious forces that may contribute to your troubles." http://www.psychologicalselfhelp.org...2/chap2_2.html

I was wondering which (if any) part do you have the most trouble understanding, figuring out, or working on?

I guess I have trouble with #3 as, if I knew how to "fix" a problem, I'd probably have worked on it before? I tend to be too broad or vague in my "skills" I think I need, because I don't know how to make them more concrete and something I could "do" like "Take X class next for degree in Y."
