This is fantastic. Perhaps similarly, I personally found it much easier to complete math problem sets after I began to write out an explicit list of steps of what to do.

For example, I broke down problems with to-dos, such as:

1. Find the definition for what math_term_X means in a particular problem.

2. (For breaking down part of the problem): Figure out how to show that a particular object is lesser than or equal to another project.

3. Write down headings for each case I need to prove.

...and so on.

Writing down explicit steps was far more practically helpful to me, than my previous conception of problem-solving from the quote about how Feynman solves problems (that is: "Write down the problem, think real hard, write down the solution"). Some people may not need to write down steps, but I was personally able to learn a lot more with a specific, more verbalized approach.

It's very neat and helpful to have a flowchart suited to any general problem, which I'll try out in addition to my current approach of writing down a list of to-dos for solving specific problems. Thanks a lot for sharing.
